Actually, my idea of sending a message to stderr saying we are using a pre-configured file is so folks aren't surprised by the fact they can't see any stderr anymore. But doesn't syslog have the same issue. Maybe not, and that's why we need a message like: "All standard output and standard error are going to postgresql.conf" and send that to the processes standard error. > > >Also can we close/reopen the file on SIGHUP.

I don't understand this.
