Otherwise, it's wherever the postmaster's stderr output is being sent. A fairly annoying property of the current RPM packagings is that their startup script sends postmaster stderr to /dev/null. We have (finally) fixed that for 8.0, but in current releases you need to alter the startup script in order to get useful log output. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
