Robert and I just discussed this subproblem (the original complaint of this thread) off-list. Our questions are: does anyone actually want that message from the postmaster in the log, and if not, shouldn't we just do this? diff --git a/src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c b/src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c index 41de140ae0..b34655b4bd 100644 --- a/src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c +++ b/src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c @@ -3193,8 +3193,7 @@ CleanupBackgroundWorker(int pid, rw->rw_child_slot = 0; ReportBackgroundWorkerExit(&iter); /* report child death */ - LogChildExit(EXIT_STATUS_0(exitstatus) ? DEBUG1 : LOG, - namebuf, pid, exitstatus); + LogChildExit(DEBUG1, namebuf, pid, exitstatus); return true; } As for the problem of the behaviour of bgworker processes themselves on SIGTERM, let's discuss that separately in the other subthread[1] (well, my mail client thinks it's a different thread, but the archives think it's the same thread with a different subject).
