Note that they are *still* restarted immediately even if bgw_restart_time is set at BGW_NEVER_RESTART or to a certain value. There are actually two ways you can use to have them perform a one-time task: - put it in indefinite sleep after the task is accomplished - set bgw_restart_time to BGW_NEVER_RESTART. and have the bgworler exit with non-0 status code.
