Обсуждение: Admin pack's "logfile" doesn't work

<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Hi,<br /><br /> I have PgAdmin 1.6.2 talking to a PostgreSQL 8.2.3 server with the
distributedadmin pack installed (from source's contrib/adminpack), and have ran the adminpack.sql script against the
postgresdatabase.  If, in PgAdmin, I click Tools > Server Status and select the "logfile" tab, I get the following

configuredas follows:<br /><br /> silent_mode --- on<br /> log_destination --- stderr<br /> log_directory ---

readable/writeableto the postgresql user account, and is around 400KB per day.<br /><br /> Thanks,<br /><br />

It's a bit stupid about the filename format - try the default of:

postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log

and it should work.
