Adrian, Thanks for the inquiry. The function (db_execute_sql) is coming from a vendor (BMC) product called Control-M. It is a scheduling product. The tmp file is deleted before I can see its contents but I believe it is trying to update some columns in the CMS_SYSPRM table. I also think the postgresql instance is already stopped and hence why the db_execute fails. I will try to modify the vendor function to save off the contents of the query. Bryce p.s. Do you know of any verbose logging that could be turned on to catch when pgsql is being terminated? -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Klaver <adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2018 7:39 PM To: Bryce Pepper <BPepper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RHEL 7 (systemd) reboot This email originated from outside the company.
