Hi, while setting up a new linux postgresql server, I checked my archive_command. I noticed that the usual "cp -i f1 f2 < /dev/null" did NOT as expected: It did not overwrite the file (PASS), but it returned zero (FAIL, should return error). This could be reproduced on CentOS 5.6, RHEL4, and Ubuntu 10.04. This is my test: echo huhu > file1 echo hello > file2 /bin/cp -i file2 file1 < /dev/null echo $? # should return != 0 diff -s file1 file2 Am I missing something here? Should the BACKUP-ARCHIVING-WAL doc be changed? Regards, Martin -- NEU: FreePhone - kostenlos mobil telefonieren!
