Hello,
I tried to run pg_basebackup. Return value is 1.
How to find out its reason?
(I suspect that some wal after backup is missing- but how to find
out the real reason? How to fix it?)
First it is not clear to me where you are taking the backup from, the
master or the standby?
Second there is a lot of redirection going on. What happens if you run
the pg_basebackup directly (without doing su - postgres ...) and use
hardcoded values instead of shell variables?
thanks, Andrej

issued from a script:

-D ${GEO_STDBY_DATA} -U pgreplic -P -v -X fetch" 2>${LOG_FILE}.stderr
