Subject: [GENERAL] Postgres.exe on windows format on command line that
starts the process

In Windows PostgreSQL spawns numerous postgres.exe processes. When you look
at the actual command line you see the command that started the process. For
example: "c:/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/postgres.exe" "--forkbackend" "1372"

My questions
1. In the example above does 1372 represent a port? >>> NO
2. If it is a port then how can I change the ports used OR avoid using
certain ports? >>>NOT A PORT

Thanks,
Bruce.

process.
