> utimes("/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432", (const struct timeval *) 0); Hm, do you think that's portable? There is already code in the postmaster to touch the socket lock file every few minutes, so as to keep tmp-cleaners from zapping it. (Or at least there once was; I can't find it right now.) If we could do the same for the socket file it'd be really nice. But I didn't think there was any portable way to update the mod timestamp on a socket. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
