I've recently installed Postgres 7.2, but this also applied to the 7.1.3
installation I had too. I'm seeing a lot of DEBUG messages being output to
the logfile/syslog, both when PG starts and stops, and also during VACUUM
ANALYZE runs (w/o verbose mode turned on); I start/stop PG via something
like:

su -l $PGUSER -c "pg_ctl start -D '$PGDATA' -s -l $PGLOG"

and the analyze runs are done from cron like so:

su -l $PGUSER -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/vacuumdb --all --analyze"

In postgresql.conf, the relevant section looks like:
---
# Debug display
#silent_mode = false
log_connections = true
log_timestamp = true
log_pid = true
#debug_level = 0 # range 0-16
#debug_print_query = false
#debug_print_parse = false
#debug_print_rewritten = false
#debug_print_plan = false
#debug_pretty_print = false
# requires USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
#debug_assertions = true
---

which to mean says that there shouldn't be much debug output (level=0); I'm
OK with the connection messages. I've attached some examples of the messages
below if they're helpful. Is this something I have done, or something I can
turn off? Its mainly the analyze lines that fill the log up. I'd have a
quick grep at the code for DEBUG's but I'll have to wait till I get home.

Cheers,
Joe
