Hi list! We have a daemon programme that acts as a pgsql client. It writes in a DB the status of its own clients. And we have a different daemon that needs to read that status information and decide upon it. The problem is that the first daemon is a little fragile and from time to time it crashes. I need to be able to monitor its connection to the PgSQL and if it drops (times-out) to mark the status of all of its clients as "unavailable" or "unknown". At first I thought about attaching a trigger to pg_stat_activity table, so on delete I could take action. The only problem was it is not a table. Any ideas? -- Milen A.
