I see stats collector processes die in current when I suspend postmaster then put it in background from a terminal:
$ ps x : : 21638 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/bash -i 30525 pts/1 S 0:00 postmaster 30527 pts/1 S 0:00 postgres: writer process 30528 pts/1 S 0:00 postgres: stats buffer process 30529 pts/1 S 0:00 postgres: stats collector process 30530 pts/1 R 0:00 ps x $ fg postmaster [1]+ Stopped postmaster $ bg [1]+ postmaster & LOG: statistics collector process (PID 30528) exited with exit code 1 Is this normal? -- Tatsuo Ishii ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
