Re: autovacuum question

Hi, I'm looking in my log file with today's date. I'm using VIM and
have done a search for a pattern match on "autovac", "vacuum", and
"auto" VIM returned "string not found" for each search. Am I
looking for the wrong string, or is there another log file I should
be looking at?
