If that doesn't work (and something that hasn't been updated since 2004
is doubtful) there is an opensource utility called pglogd
http://www.digitalstratum.com/oss/pglogd
that works pretty well for me through 8.4.5. I haven't tried it yet on 9.
Digital Stratum EOLed pglogd and I sort of tried to fork the project and
fix a couple of things that it doesn't do very well--like allow the
backend to shutdown because it opens a connection and never lets it
go--but my C skills are lacking and time more so.
If the version from Digital Stratum doesn't work and you (or anyone else
for that matter) would like my slightly modified version let me know off
list and I'll get it to you.
