PostgreSQL: 7.3.4
Platform: SunOS 5.9 Generic_112233-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
We plan to run vacuumdb nightly on our PostgreSQL cluster (which may be excessive--we welcome opinions/insights on vacuum scheduling); we want to run vacuum in verbose mode, for our own statistical analysis/review--but we're having trouble capturing the verbose output; when we do a simple pipe to a file--
vacuumdb -a -f -z -v | vaclog.log
all that gets captured is the backend database commands--VACUUM <dbname> etc; thinking that the verbose output was going to something besides stdout, we tried
vacuumdb -a -f -z -v 2> ${pg_log}/vaclog.log
and got the error message: "cannot vacuum all databases and a specific one at the same time";
To what I/O stream does the verbose output get written, and how can we capture it?
