Thanks. > Is it the work of the function (pointed by bgw_sighup) to get the new > config values from the postmaster? and if so, how can I get these new > values? You probably want to have the sighup handler set a flag, and then call ProcessConfigFile(PGC_SIGHUP) in your main loop when the flag is set. Search for got_SIGHUP in postgres.c. I think this (have a config option, and have SIGHUP work as expected) would be useful to demo in worker_spi, if you care to submit a patch. > I thought the configuration reloading would work just like a shared > library but it doesn't seem so. Yeah, you need to handle that manually, because you're running your own process now. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
