recycle transaction log files even if the backups are not properly
archived, since there is no command that fails. This can be worked
around by having an <xref linkend="guc-archive-command"> that fails
- when the file has not been properly archived yet.
+ when the file has not been properly archived yet, for example:
+<programlisting>
+archive_command = 'sleep 5 && test -f /mnt/server/archivedir/%f'
+</programlisting>
+ The initial timeout is necessary because
+ <application>pg_receivexlog</application> works using asynchronous
+ replication and can therefor be slightly behind the master.
