1. The logfile stop upgrade after a vim write

   ma lz <ma100@hotmail.com> — 2023-05-04T09:54:26Z

     1.   pg_ctl -D data -l  MyLog
     2.   vim MyLog : add some words, save and exit
     3.  after vim operation, MyLog will never upgrade except restart server
   
   I know it caused by file descripter only open once at the start by postgres, and vim operation rename the file to MyLog~, so postgres can't upgrade

   set backupcopy=yes in .vimrc
   
   But why would you edit active log files?
