Hi PostgreSQL hackers!
A while ago we received the bug report below against pg_autovacuum.
Since it runs as a daemon, it should detach from its controlling
terminal by executing sth like
int nullfd = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR);
dup2(nullfd, 0);
dup2(nullfd, 1);
dup2(nullfd, 2);
if (nullfd != 0 && nullfd != 1 && nullfd != 2)
close(nullfd);
(taken from syslog-ng which does it properly).
Can you do that in the next release?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
Martin

Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.1-1
When /etc/init.d/postgresql is run, pg_autovacuum maintains connections
to the startup tty on fds 0, 1 and 2. When run from the console (as part
of (apt-get upgrade), this caused some hiccups to a following getty.
In any case, it's considered bad behaviour on the part of a long-running
daemon.
(If you feel this is pg_autovacuum's fault rather than the init script's,
please reassign to postgresql-contrib.)
Thanks!
