Isn't it cleaner to remove the PID file in postmaster.c:reaper()? That way you are really sure that the PID file is removed when the process is gone, even if it crashes. OTOH I don't think it's very clean to change the semantics of the ArchPid variable in postmaster. We use those to keep track of the running process, so if there's no archiver, it should be 0 (which is true for all said variables). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
