Because, as I wrote in the message you are quoting, I did not think that having a command-line option for the sole purpose of telling the postmaster who its parent is was a suitable solution. I had already given up on that idea based on Amit's advice, and I will create a patch based on a command-line option. While I have you here, though, any suggestions on what the name of that option should be? I think --background is about right. Also, how should I treat the option on non-Windows platforms? Should it just not be there (= error), or be ignored if present? -- Christian -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
