Re: Win32 sample service code

Hi!

This looks like a good starting point. I think the main issues with
getting the service to run will be integrating it in the current backup
startup, and handling signals so we do a nice shutdown.

It might be worthwhile to create a separate pgservice binary based on
this work of yours that just spawns the postmaster. It will then have to
use the postgresql win32 signalling code to shut the postmaster down
upon service requests etc. That would keep a lot of cruft out of the
postmaster itself. Thoughts on this?

However, it still leaves you with the problem of dealing with settings
management. But I think it's too early to speculate on exactly how that
should be done, since we haven't decided on how to actually do it in
standalone backends.

All in all, very good starting point, but I don't think we're quite
ready to dot his yet - need to get the backend up and running in
standalone first so we can decide what exactly the requirements are.

Hello,

I have found Win32 service as todo item.
Maybe I can help ?
See attachment. I can add CriticalSection and other features if
you need it.

Best regards
