Dear all, In Postgresql documentation we have an example of the directive archive_command (for WAL) : archive_command = 'cp -i %p /mnt/server/directory_archive/%f </dev/null' or better : archive_command = 'test ! -f /mnt/server/directory_archive/%f && cp %p /mnt/server/directory_archive/%f' It look like this command is spawn to the system ( exec() or something... ) so I wonder if we can use environnement variable directly or by sourcing an env file, i.e : archive_command = 'test ! -f $myvar/%f && cp %p $myvar/%f' or archive_command = 'csh ; source ~/.cshrc && test ! -f $myvar/%f && cp %p $myvar/%f' Thanks for help.
