Hey all, For a variety of reasons, that aren't relevant here, I have had to implement my own version of pg_standby. At the moment it puts the WAL in the right place and "exit 0". Postgres then processes it, and calls pg_standby again, as it should. It'll do this basically forever. It has a test for a "trigger" file which causes it to exit 1, making postgres stop recovering and start. I would very much like to be able to make pg_standby cause postgres to cleanly shutdown, with or without removing recovery.conf. Is there a magic exit code I can use to do this? Or a pg_ctl option to stop recovering and shutdown?
