Fwiw this concerns me slightly. I'm sure a lot of people are doing things like "kill -HUP `cat .../postmaster.pid`" or the equivalent. We do have the external_pid_file GUC so perhaps this just means we should warn people in the release notes or somewhere and point them at that GUC. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
