What Solaris version, and what version of sh? sh on Solaris isn't necessarily the "real" bourne shell. In Solaris 11 it's actually ksh93. I've seen a sort-of opposite problem which does not appear in stock Solaris 10 or 11 but in OpenSolaris, at least the version I used to have on my desktop. And this was not PostgreSQL but MySQL.... There's a script mysqld_safe which will automatically restart the mysqld server if it dies. But in OpenSolaris with ksh version '93t', if I killed mysqld, the shell that started it also died. I never could figure out why. Solaris 11 with ksh '93u' does not have this problem. Nor does Solaris 10 with "real" sh. Is this customer by any chance running OpenSolaris? - Bjorn -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
