You hadn't thought very carefully about additional state transitions that would have to be introduced into the postmaster state machine to support a new state --- for example, as coded a SIGINT delivered to the postmaster after SIGTERM would fail to do anything at all, when of course it really ought to force us into fast shutdown. Also, it's not really that hard to disallow non-superusers from connecting in PM_WAIT_BACKUP state. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-patches mailing list (pgsql-patches@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-patches
