Hi all. I'd need to check from a C language program whether the server is running or not. I was planning to use either "PGPing PQping(const char *conninfo)" or "ConnStatusType PQstatus(const PGconn *conn)". I have my program running and checking from time to time whether the connection is kicking and alive. In order to test the things I've done the following: while the program is waiting for input I simply restart the postgresql server. The issue is thayt both functions return PQPING_OK and CONNECTION_OK respectively. When I forward the request, I get an error: "FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command". How can I reliably check the server status?
