Hiya I am writing a daemon in C which monitors a table stored in postgres. I would ideally like the daemon to be able to withstand things such as the db connection going away or the db being shutdown, and simply keep trying to connect rather than just fall on it's face.
Is there a way that I can catch a server shutdown/connection loss cleanly? I did a quick search of the mailling list but didn't see anything.
