There is a "postgres" option -o which can redirect the server output to a
file. The postmaster output will still go to stderr. Does anyone recall
how this was supposed to be useful?
Interesting code (from elog):
/* NOTE: debug file is typically pointed at stderr */ write(Debugfile, msg_buf, len);
...
/* * fflush here is just to improve the odds that we get to see * the error message, in case things are so
hosedthat * proc_exit crashes. [...] */ fflush(stdout); fflush(stderr);
Fat chance. ;-)
