Ah, I misunderstood you. Yeah, I think you are right: if we are special-casing the syslogger process anyway, then it need only have these two behaviors: not redirection_done: write to own stderr (not chunked) and directly to file redirection_done: write directly to file One thing to watch out for is infinite recursion if the write-to-file gets an error. I don't remember if we have a defense against that in there now, but we probably should. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
