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 &amp;&amp; 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.
