The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-wal.html Description:
Hello. On the page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-wal.html Actual: >To start the server in targeted recovery mode, create a file called recovery.signal in the data directory. If both standby.signal and recovery.signal files are created, standby mode takes precedence. Targeted recovery mode ends when the archived WAL is fully replayed, or when recovery_target is reached. In this mode, the parameters from both this section and Section 20.5.6 will be used. Expected: >To start the server in targeted recovery mode, create a file called recovery.signal in the data directory. If both standby.signal and recovery.signal files are created, standby mode takes precedence. Targeted recovery mode ends and recovery.signal file is removed when the archived WAL is fully replayed, or when recovery_target is reached. In this mode, the parameters from both this section and Section 20.5.6 will be used. File 'recovery.signal' is not removed when `recovery_target_action` is *shutdown*. Overall I did not find page where I can read about all types of *.signal files and how to deal with them.
