Ah, I see. Not a bad idea. The only thing is it should look to make sure these aren't already set up with ccache - if they are it should leave them alone. It's also possible to set up ccache in a transparent mode, where you don't have to call ccache explicitly. Not sure what the implications of that would be. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan https://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
