Hello, I have a few queries regarding logging in Posgtresql 8.1 on windows: 1) Is the -l <filename> option same as using the log_directory and log_filename attributes in postgresql.conf (assuming redirect_stderr is on). 2) Is it ok to not see the -l <filename> details in the properties of Postgres service in the Service manager of Windows even though the service has been registered with this option. Looking forward to your response. Regards, Ritu Disclaimer : This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information.
