>From a technical point of view I don't think that is desirable. The entire log traffic would have to be routed through the postmaster, as it is in LibertyRMS's log rotator now through the perl script. And we really try to keep everything outside the postmaster that does not absolutely have to be in there for stability reasons. We can discuss if the log rotator should be a child process of the postmaster or the other way round, but that will not change the flow of bytes between the processes in any way. I would say it's better the way it is, because it does not pollute the postmasters wait logic with another exception. My ideal solution would be to integrate the log rotators functionality into a C version of pg_ctl that forks and detaches from the control terminal in the way, daemons should.
