I have a question related to the archive_command option of postgresql.conf.
In the documentation[1] I found examples that add a "< /dev/null" at the end of the cp command. I know what the redirection from /dev/null does (send an EOF), but is it really needed? In [2] there are examples that don't have the redirection of STDIN from /dev/null.
