> i used psql via ssh on dial-up and closed the ssh client. I logged in again and it showed that the postmater process was still running.. I thought that the index building process would continue 'til completion.
try ( echo '´CREATE INDEX blablabla' | psql database >> log.txt ) & on your (bash) shell. You should be able to log out safely then and have the output in log.txt. Regards, Bjoern ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
