If it's doing one thing wrong (i.e., using a nonzero exit code after copying to the archive directory) perhaps it's doing something else wrong (like removing the copied WAL file or messing with the *.ready files). If you mess with internals that you shouldn't be touching, you can expect weird. Perhaps the script was initially only getting one of these things wrong and it was causing failures, so the author went further down the rabbit hole in an attempt to get it sorta working? -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
