Now that we have set archiver messages to DEBUG levels, there's no easy way of seeing what file we are on.
Patch to set ps display for archiver enclosed, intended for 8.3 Before archive_command postgres: archiver process archiving 00000001000000000000000B After archive_command postgres: archiver process archived 00000001000000000000000B So the behaviour of the startup process and archiver are now symmetrical, allowing it to be used for replication monitoring. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com
