I have observed by default posgresql 8.x onwards starts as daemon process. Is there a way to avoid it. I want it to run as normal process. The parent of the server process should be the process that starts the server instead of being PID 1 ( init ). Till 7.4.2 ( Which was the older version used by us ) was using running in normal mode. The same behavior is necessary as we have our watchdog failing to identify that it server is actually running.
