LOL.  You guys are killin me.  Meantime, can someone point me to where the log file destination might be hidden?  Because I can't even find out what broke and why.  And as much as it's great to blame my predecessors, they aren't here anymore, and I'm out of my depth on Slony... ob.vi.ous.ly.  And telling my boss to suck it is not really an option for me.

They aren't in the /opt/logs/postgres directory, and they aren't in the postgres logs directory.  I have two sudo finds running, but, so far, no luck.  Gotta say, haven't been having the best of luck so far on anything slony-related.

Yeah when I'm handed a grand mess like this I just tell the bosses you
can either let me fix it the way it needs to be fixed, or watch it
break over and over. Your choice, but I'm not getting up at 2am to fix
things you didn't let me fix right.
