Samba has a configuration parameter that allows you to set an arbitrary command as a "panic action" script. This can then be used to gather debugging information or prepare a bug report (see other thread). This also has the added flexibility that binary packagers can add extra information specific to their environment. It may be worthwhile to research whether we could do something similar. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
