Internal RFE bug #114775 added. Will be considered for future releases. Postgres server not supported in RHEL3. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030708 Description of problem: Postgres has features to log debug output, queries etc. to stdout/stderr. The rhdb start script redirects this to /dev/null. It should be possible to configure this to log into a file, or even better into a program, so that this output is lost. Currently this cannot be done safely, because /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb is not marked to be a configuration file, so changes would be lost on an update. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rh-postgresql-server 7.3.4-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. look into the rhdb service start file where postmaster is started 2. notice the >/dev/null 2&>1 3. Actual Results: output logged to the bit bucket Expected Results: A possibility, either by setting a variable in sysconfig/rhdb , to log to a file or a program, alternatively setting the start script to be a config file so that changes can be made safely. Additional info: Inhouse, we pipe the log to /usr/sbin/rotatelogs from the httpd package and use tmpwatch to clean out older logfiles. This would however be a bad default configuration because it adds dependencies to httpd. A sysconfig configuration variable, which can default to >/dev/null would have zero impact on current system, but make advanced logging possible.
