I suspect that the problem is on the server's side.
On Windows ( Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit ) the default German 'locale' for UTF8 set by the 'One click installer' is
"German_Germany.1252".
So instead of 'autovacuum launcher shutting down' 'Autovacuum-Launcher fährt herunter' is being logged. The problem is
thatthe ä (ae) is not encoded in UTF8 ( just one byte ). Maybe the reason is that the encoding of code page 1252 is in
factjust a one byte encoding and no conversion is being done?
I checked this on Ubuntu and although the locale is "de_DE.utf8" everywhere, the messages in the logs were all in
English...
So I use "lc_messages = 'C'" as recommended elsewhere on the list.
With best regards,
Peter
