Righ, pg_logdir_ls() was the function. My feeling is that the application has access to the log_directory and log_filename values and can better and move flexibly filter pg_ls_dir() on the client end than we can do on the server. It just seemed like something that we better done outside the server. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (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 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
