Let me illustrate. To turn off archiving you have to change: #archive_command = '' archive_command = 'cp %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f' to archive_command = '' #archive_command = 'cp %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f' and if you comment both or neither, you have problems. With a boolean it would be: archive_mode = on archive_command = 'cp %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f' archive_mode = off archive_command = 'cp %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f' Now, if you say people will rarely turn archiving on/off, then one parameter seems to make more sense. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
