[Info-ingres] Waiting indefinitely for the logging system to shut down

[Laframboise, André (BAC/LAC)]

I've had to kill ingres processes a few times in my career. 
Just check the last few lines of iircp.log to make sure everything cleaned up ok.

I remember there was a time when the recovery server lost access to the transaction log a few years ago due to disk failure. Good times :)

That suggestion is harmless but I refuse to believe it is useful.

If you don't trust the undo/redo recovery to work properly you are either being superstitious or you have some incidents you should have reported to tech support to be fixed properly.

I'm going with superstitious. Ingres is not fragile.
