I don't really see a strong reason to keep it runable as a standalone except that I thought that was what was decided in previous discussion on hackers. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread anywhere on archives.postgresql.org, when I search for "pg_autovacuum" it doesn't return any hits more recent than Jan 2004, and I know there have been a few pg_autovacuum related discussions since then so it seems like something is broken. > > But, I > > guess there is nothing preventing it from being a runable stand alone > > app located in src/backend/postmaster. > > Yes, there are a lot of things.

I did understand Tom, but based on the hacker discussion I think the "postmaster integration" will consist of the postmaster launching and killing the pg_autovacuum standalone executable as required. In that sense, I don't think it matters if pg_autovacuum is located in src/bin or src/backend/postmaster. Is this form of integration something people would object to? If so, I can fold it into the backend such that pg_autovacuum can no longer be run from the command line. Comments anyone?
