I have postmaster configured to use syslog. Despite this, these messages appear on the terminal from which I start it:
2001-09-03 23:44:37 [26371] DEBUG: recycled transaction log file 0000000000000044
There are many of those.
Here are the relevant lines from the configuration:
[pgtest@possum pgtest]$ egrep -v '(^#|^$)' /var/share/pgtest/postgresql/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
tcpip_socket = true
show_source_port = true
shared_buffers = 1024 # 2*max_connections, min 16
wal_files = 4 # range 0-64
wal_sync_method = fsync # fsync or fdatasync or open_sync or open_datasync
wal_debug = 0 # range 0-16
log_connections = true
log_timestamp = true
log_pid = true
debug_level = 0 # range 0-16
debug_assertions = true
syslog = 2 # range 0-2
[pgtest@possum pgtest]$
Additionally there are many (supposedly suppressed) (apparently) debugging lines printed out on syslog:
