From: Heikki Linnakangas Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2011 11:35:44 +0000 (+0300) Subject: Remove silent_mode. You get the same functionality with "pg_ctl -l X-Git-Tag: REL9_2_BETA1~1461 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f7ea6beaf4ca02b8e6dc576255e35a5b86035cb9;p=postgresql Remove silent_mode. You get the same functionality with "pg_ctl -l postmaster.log", or nohup. There was a small issue with LINUX_OOM_ADJ and silent_mode, namely that with silent_mode the postmaster process incorrectly used the OOM settings meant for backend processes. We certainly could've fixed that directly, but since silent_mode was redundant anyway, we might as well just remove it. --- diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/config.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/config.sgml index 3f6986fc1b..bce9520a65 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/config.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/config.sgml @@ -3201,36 +3201,6 @@ local0.* /var/log/postgresql - - silent_mode (boolean) - - silent_mode configuration parameter - - - - Runs the server silently.
