Yeah, good point. You can still use a shell script as restore_command, pass the %r option to it, and do the deletion there. I didn't intend to replace pg_standby when I started this, it just kind of happened. Maybe we should provide a sample script similar to pg_standby, to be used instead of plain 'cp', that does the cleanup too. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
