> Patch to set ps display for archiver enclosed, intended for 8.3
I think this is a good idea. However, experimentation here showed that
at least on some machines (like HPUX), there's a pretty tight limit
before ps cuts off the display, and the more verbose messages discussed
on -hackers cause the last few digits of the filename to be cut off.
Which makes the display just about entirely useless. So I went with
these messages:
archiving %s
last was %s
failed on %s
We might need to make it even briefer, perhaps
at: %s
last: %s
failed: %s
depending on reports from the field.
Applied patch attached.
regards, tom lane
