"Interrupt requested" in postgresql-DAY.log

Hi,

I have a PostgreSQL 9.3.4 database running on CentOS 6 with PostGIS 2.1.2. Each night, I run a cron job to dump (pg_dump) a few schemas for development snapshots. Everything runs without error.

However, it seems that the dump process consistently results in a single line in the postgresql-*.log file. Oddly enough, this entry seems to ignore the log_line_prefix configuration parameter.

postgres@db:/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data $ cat pg_log/postgresql-Fri.log
Interrupt requested
postgres@db:/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data $ grep log_line_prefix postgresql.conf
log_line_prefix = '< %t > ' # special values:
postgres@db:/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data $ psql
psql (9.3.4)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# show log_line_prefix;
log_line_prefix
-----------------
< %t >
(1 row)

postgres=# \q

Any ideas where this could be coming from and why it isn’t prefixed?

Thanks,
Louis

That probably represents some non-Postgres bit of code deciding to bleat
to stdout or stderr. The logging-collector mechanism is designed to catch
such output coming from a backend process, but it can't stick a
log_line_prefix on it.

What exactly is bleating, I can't say. A quick grep confirms that there
is no such string in the Postgres sources, but I dunno about PostGIS.
If you've got any code in plperl, plpython, etc, the culprit might lurk
somewhere there. glibc might even be to blame, though I don't think it
ordinarily prints error messages.

Thanks, Tom.

This does in fact look like something new bubbling up from PostGIS 2.1.2 and 2.1.3.

https://github.com/postgis/postgis/blob/svn-2.1/postgis/postgis_module.c

I don’t see it triggered in 2.1.1, so I’ll take my observation over to the GIS folks.

Regards,
Louis
