Well, you could do that with a sed command (twinkle). But I wasn't necessarily objecting to the abstract notion of having such a tool ... I just don't think it's in pg_config's scope. You could more easily make a case for adding the functionality to pg_ctl. Or make a new tool. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
