Of course I tested it. It successfully reconnects on multiple restarts, checks intermittently when I've stopped the server, showing the connection error message, successfully continues when I eventually bring the server back up, and doesn't attempt a reconnect when using -n. So looks good to me. -- Thom -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

It would probably make sense to have an auto-reconnect feature, and to have an option to turn it on/off.

[HACKERS] pg_receivexlog stops upon server restart
Hi, I've tried out pg_receivexlog and have noticed that when restarting the cluster, pg_receivexlog gets cut off... it doesn't keep waiting. This is surprising as the DBA would have to remember to start pg_receivexlog up again. -- Thom -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
