My problem is, I never see a *.history file, thus my script sits in a

What am I missing?
pg_standby it self isn't a solution for warm standby. It is a component
thereof. Also don't use SCP. Use rsync. Take a look at walmgr or
PITRTools it will make your life easier.
I still don't understand why the pg_standby code is looking for the
*.history. Apparently others have seen this same behavior (according to
google), yet I don't see any definitive answer.
I don't mind looking at other tools, but I want to understand this
process. I can't find what files are processed in what order, although
according to the pg_standby.c code, there are at least three different
files it's looking for: *.history, *.backup, and the standard WAL files.
Is this documented anywhere?
It appears the PITRTools use pg_standby binary, thus I'm still confused
as to how these files are processed.
