Fwd: Notice Processor hook

[adey <adey11@xxxxxxxxx>]

Below is an old message from Tom Lane regarding "Notice Processor hook". I have not been able to contact him to explain it, nor does it appear in the Postgresql.org archives. Would one of you be able to help me to implement this please? We are trying to obtain the output from a vacuum run by automated script.

Hi Tom,

A colleague found this entry from yourself in thescripts.com:-

 

"Adam H.Pendleton" <fmonkey@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes:[color=blue]

You could capture that output by setting up a notice processor hook
routine.

We are having similar problems - please could you tell me how to implement a "Notice Processor hook"?
