Greetings,

Hopefully this can be easily answered but I have not seen any reference
to this within the online docs and mailing list archives. Can or does
autovaccuum also have the capability to reindex; or, is this something
that needs to be placed within a custom cron job?

Many thanks!

autovacuum will kick off VACUUMs and ANALYZEs but no REINDEXes.

Autovacuum never attempts anything that might require exclusive locks.
