I just realized that --help-config doesn't output the contents of postgresql.conf at all, but just the internal server defaults. Does the admin tool read postgresql.conf too and parse that to get the runtime values, and how does it know if the postmaster is using the current postgresql.conf contents or it needs a SIGHUP? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
