While learning a bit about basic hot standby configuration, I was reviewing an article that used these parameters wal_level = 'hot_standby' archive_mode = on archive_command = 'cd .' max_wal_senders = 1 hot_standby = on How or why that particular archive_command actually works (... and it does ... I tried it ...) is not clear to me based on reading of the Postgresql documentation on this topic. I would have expected to see an actual copy or rsync command, as described in the fine manual at section 25.3.1. "Setting Up WAL Archiving" The entire example appears at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-master-slave-replication-on-postgresql-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-vps Can anyone enlighten on this topic, or provide a link to an existing explanation? -- B -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
