libpq and PostgreSQL NOTICEs
Is there any way to force Postgre not to send NOTICEs to the console? I have an ncurses app that from time to time gets notices stating that "begin is already a transaction in progress." Now I know I need to track down where I'm issuing a "begin" twice, but I would rather Postgre log these warnings and errors to a file, rather than spewing across the screen. Does anyone know if and how to instruct Postgre to send its NOTICEs to a log file?

Hmm, well it is, or appears to be. Here's how postmaster starts:
su - cvms -c "(/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D/progs/db -B 256
2>&1 | logger -p local5.notice) &" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Problem is, NOTICE's still goes to the console.
Any other ideas? This is really driving me bonkers!?!?! :-)

postmaster [stuff] > /some/log 2>&1 &
That's if you're using a Bourne-style shell.

Define "console" --- you mean the client's stderr? Or the postmaster's?
Changing libpq's notice processor (see PQsetNoticeProcessor) would help
if you want to filter notices on the client side.

The 'client' side. Thanks, I'll give it a try.
