Rather than disabling it, it'd probably be more convenient to make any getppid value except 1 (the init process) be treated as "it's alive". Otherwise you'll have trouble with the collector not stopping when you want it to. Look into src/backend/storage/ipc/pmsignal.c: - return (getppid() == PostmasterPid); + return (getppid() != 1); (Obviously this is a hack, but it should work on any Unixish system) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
