While reviewing Peter Geoghegan's postmaster death patch, I noticed that
if you turn on silent_mode, the LINUX_OOM_ADJ code in fork_process()
runs when postmaster forks itself into background. That re-enables the
OOM killer in postmaster, if you've disabled it in the startup script by
adjusting /proc/self/oom_adj. That seems like a bug, albeit a pretty
minor one.
This may be a dumb question, but what is the purpose of silent_mode?
Can't you just use nohup?
