Note that on 8.3, the meaning of naptime has changed -- it would be effectively "check each database once every 10 minutes" if set at 600. This was changed precisely because the previous semantics were difficult to explain/use. The OP is using 8.2 though so it doesn't apply here. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
