(1) In the following comment, it's better to change "wal sender process" to "walsender" to follow the modified name. - * postgres: wal sender process <user> <host> <activity> + * postgres: walsender <user> <host> <activity> * * To achieve that, we pass "wal sender process" as username and username * as dbname to init_ps_display(). XXX: should add a new variant of * init_ps_display() to avoid abusing the parameters like this. */ (2) "WAL writer process" is used, not "walwriter", is used in postmaster.c as follows. I guess this is for natural language. Is this intended? I'm OK with either, though. HandleChildCrash(pid, exitstatus, _("WAL writer process")); case WalWriterProcess: ereport(LOG, (errmsg("could not fork WAL writer process: %m"))); Personally, I prefer "wal writer", "wal sender" and "wal receiver" that separate words as other process names. But I don't mind leaving them as they are now. I'd like to make this as ready for committer when I get some reply.
