It strikes me that a more useful "reminder" feature could be implemented by having \cd itself print the new current directory, which it could do with a simple call to getcwd(), thus not requiring refactoring of make_absolute_path. Then for instance if you'd forgotten where you were, "\cd ." would tell you. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
