Hi,

I use psql (PostgreSQL) 8.1.10 on my box, there is a postmater process
running automatically to make temp files in pgsql_tmp folder, I don't do
any query on my database. Anybody knows what's wrong with it? and how to
find what the postmater process is for

Thanks

Dong He

Look in pg_stat_activity, perhaps.  In 8.1 that won't show you the
actual command unless you changed some default settings, but it should
at least tell you when the command was started and by whom.
