orphaned psql's

CSN
Every now and then my connection to my remote server
will disconnect. If I was using the psql commandline,
"ps" will show it's still running (after I log back
on). Is there a way to get access to the running psql
process again, or cause it to disconnect and close? I
tried "kill" but it didn't do anything.

TIA,
CSN

If I understand it correctly, you use ssh/telnet/whatever to login to your remote server, Then you run psql on the server?

If you have a bad connection to your server, then you could consider using "screen" which will allow you to reattach (screen -R) to the running frontend on your next login.

you should be able to suspend it then fg it I'd think.

Do you have a firewall between the machine running psql and the machine
running the server? Some firewalls have a short timeout for inactive
tcp-sessions.

Hello all, I just wanted to pass on some information about compatibility between the psql client and the postgres server. On a particular network, my workstation and the server are both debian boxes, but the workstation is on a more frequent upgrade schedule. The server is still running postgres 7.3.4, but my workstation has been upgraded with the latest (7.4.1) postgres client tools.

Hello, Today I tried connecting to my database locally via psql. I got the usual welcome & basic help messages, but it never got to the prompt: it just hung. So I checked top and the psql process was increasing in size at quite a rate (up to a gig in under 30 seconds). I'd been using psql with no problems only a couple of hours ago, and I haven't installed anything for at least a couple of days that I can think of.

With the advent of postgres v8, would it be possible to change the default behaviour of psql from AUTOCOMMIT=ON to AUTOCOMMIT=OFF ? Although this might break backward compatibility, it might be acceptable on the basis that v8 is such a major release. Also adding a new command line parameter to control the AUTOCOMMIT setting for those users that will experience broken scripts executed (especially using the -c command) might help ease...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
