I think maybe I got the idea for parenthesis from these: src/backend/tcop/postgres.c: set_ps_display("idle in transaction (aborted)"); src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c- if (port->remote_port[0] != '\0') src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c- appendStringInfo(&ps_data, "(%s)", port->remote_port); > What about adding "running" then? This > would give "checkpointer running end-of-recovery checkpoint". What about one of these? "checkpointer: running end-of-recovery checkpoint" "checkpointer running: end-of-recovery checkpoint" Thanks for looking. -- Justin
