Yeah, that would work. You'd have to get rid of the current ad-hoc
method by which it is propagated to the syslogger child process
(EXEC_BACKEND case), because now it will have to be propagated to all
children; so postmaster.c should handle it in BackendParameters.
The problem with this as it stands is that the syslogger itself is
forked before the redirection is done.
Which is entirely correct. Re-read what I said about first launch vs
relaunch of the syslogger. Its stderr will be connected differently in
the two cases, and should be handled differently --- we want the first
launch to try to report problems on its own stderr, but there's no point
after a relaunch. That's why we pass down redirection_done to it.
What I was trying to nut out was how to handle logging from the first
launched syslogger after redirection is done.
Or, looking at it another way, why would we ever want the syslogger to
use the chunking protocol at all?
