Thread: Anyone using silent_mode?
Is anyone using silent_mode=on ? There's some discussion on pgsql-hackers [1] on whether it should be removed altogether in 9.2, since you can get the same functionality with "pg_ctl start", or nohup. If you're using silent_mode, what are you using it for? [1] http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/1308926157-sup-7749@alvh.no-ip.org -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

If you're using > silent_mode, what are you using it for? I run with slient_mode=on since all my logging goes to syslog. I don't need any other output from postgres. I've run this way since 7.1. I run on FreeBSD so I don't have that OOM killer problem.
