 Hello
 
 this patch removes unsupported switch u from description for command.

Applied, thanks.

I noticed that the usage section is not very uniform and could well use
a cleanup, but I'm not doing it at this time.

It means it waits forever, or until a trigger file appears - but a
trigger file is optional, so its possible to create an awkward
situation. I'm not happy with that default, but feedback from Merlin
suggested production problems with people not understanding that.

I'm happy to change to whatever consensus is, so if you think that's
dumb, just shout.

Not at all, in fact I was planning on using the infinite wait, and using
something like heartbeat to force creation of the trigger file in the
event the primary dies. Thanks Simon!

Hi Simon,
Quick question on the -w option; setting it to zero disables, do you
mean it waits until the file appears or a trigger file appears, or it
just doesn't wait at all?

   I double checked and re-ran all my test and confirmed that pg_standby
   move (-m) mode is definitely busted in v3 in the sense that a restart
   of the standby will not resume recovery and requires a pg_resetxlog to
   become operational -- it needs one more WAL file back than  the oldest
   one available.
  
  new v4
  
  Changes
  - removed -m command, design flaw in original spec, use -l instead
  - added -k N command to cleanup archive and leave max N files
  - fflush() points added to allow Windows debug 
  - bug fix: when .history file present
  - bug fix: command line switch cleanup
  - readme updated
 
 new v6 (v5 was Windows dev release)
 
 Changes
 
 - added -r option to specify maxretries
 - -l option for Windows Vista (only) using mklink
 - Windows examples and docs added to readme
 - code restructured to allow more easy customization
 - bug fix: -k 0 error fixed
 
 - successful port report from Dave Page on Windows XP
