MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit List-Id: List-Help: List-Subscribe: List-Post: List-Owner: List-Archive: Precedence: bulk It is a custom script which we have developed for *monitoring the processes(only)*. That is why I am asking if adding the postmaster alone would suffice, or I should add all the background process names? PS: These process checks are just to make sure that postgres is running. ----- -- Thanks, Rajan. -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-admin-f2076596.html
