The existing auxiliary processes (in 8.4) and their entry points are autovacuum (autovacuum.c, AutoVacLauncherMain) bgwriter (bgwriter.c, BackgroundWriterMain) walwriter (walwriter.c, WalWriterMain) startup/recovery (xlog.c, StartupProcessMain) You should probably compare the characteristics of these processes (when are they launched, how do they interface with the database, ...) to your requirements. Pick the best-matching candidate and start by copying what it does. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
