Thread: Starting postmaster in logging mode
Could someone give me an example of how they start up the postmaster in logging mode? I'm new to this postgres stuff - inherited the database with the job. Currently the postmaster starts with 'postmaster -S -D/data/pgsql7 -i -B 128 -N64'. I know what all the parms mean, and when I take out the -S to try to start logging and redirect the output to a file the postmaster exits after a matter of seconds. Any examples would be appreciated. --Walt Weaver Bozeman, Montana

Depending on your platform, "</dev/null" might also be needed to be completely sure the thing is disassociated from your tty and won't get killed when the parent shell exits. regards, tom lane
