pg_pong: 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 2 days Well this works for me, and I raised a couple typos directly to Phil. The advantage of this over "pg_ctl status" is that it doesn't have to be run on the machine local to the database, and access to the data directory isn't required if it is run locally. The advantage over connecting using a regular connection is that authentication and authorisation isn't necessary, and if all connections are in use, it will still return the desired result. And it does what it says on the tin. So +1 from me. -- Thom -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
