Hi Dave,

I'd like to stop autovac by changing the conf file then sending the

This "appears" to work, the logs show autovac terminated by
administrative command. Then a few minutes later I see a vacuum
process
spawned.
Is it possible that there are timers that aren't being properly
terminated here ?
I wonder whether there are tables that need an emergency vacuum (i.e.
they have reached the freeze horizon). What version are you running
anyway?
version 8.3 and doubtful.
Since a number of people actually do this it would seem like a better
way to temporarily suspend autovac should be on the todo ?
