As Mr. Lane says, it would be best to be able to make postgres sleep for an arbitrary time. The direction may be either a command line option or an environment variable (like BOOTSTRAP_SLEEP) or both. iI think the env variable is easy to handle n this case. How about mimicing postgres with a script that starts gdb to run postgres? That is, rename the original postgres module to postgres.org and create a shell script named postgres like this: #!/bin/bash gdb postgres $* Tell me if it works. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
