Hi,

Is it possible to switch on/off a background worker in runtime?

worker.bgw_flags = BGWORKER_SHMEM_ACCESS;

worker.bgw_start_time = BgWorkerStart_PostmasterStart;

 

I want to switch off the worker based on some flag value, etc, either from the main process or the worker itself.


Are there any already existing examples?

Thanks,

Ishan.
