Remote reboot to change shared_buffers and other shmem-sizing parameters seems pretty doable: all you need is a slightly more user-friendly version of the standard response to backend crash, since that sequence already kills and recreates the shmem segment. The postmaster itself doesn't have to change anything. I'm not sure how to handle remote reconfiguration of, say, listen_addresses. The postmaster doesn't normally reconsider that after postmaster startup. We'd have to either fix that (difficulty uncertain) or invent a way for the postmaster to quit and restart (ick). None of this seems like 8.1 material, though. May I remind you that we're already a month past feature freeze? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
