We're not talking about the backends, we're talking about the backend waiter threads whose sole purpose is to wait for a backend to die and then raise a signal when it does. We can easily have the kernel wait for a whole bunch of them at once, and have it call our callback function whenever anyone of them dies. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
