Re: Postgres 9.01 and WAL files issue

[Matthew Walden <matthew.walden@xxxxxxx>]

I thought that when I first read about WAL archiving but the documentation explains quite well.  Basically it is to stop a successful result being returned in the event that the file already exists in the archive destination (to cause an error in the event it tries to overwrite a file).

Just curious... why would you turn on the interactive version of cp
for an automated script?  Is that why you feed it /dev/null as input?
