So I would advise to not do that. Instead of using the archive command, you should also consider using pg_receivexlog combined with a replication slot. This brings way more control with the error handling. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
