The replication_timeout is 60s.

The archive_wal.sh (script-wrapper around pg_receivexlog) reports its
status straight away as it  falls with an error. Below is the
explanation of how it works.

This is the core of archive_wal.sh:

(
    flock -xn 543 || exit 0
    result=$($PGRECEIVEXLOG -n -D $WAL_ARCHIVE_DIR 2>&1) || \
        die "Problem occured during WAL archiving: $result."
) 543>$WAL_LOCK_FILE

And it is set to run by cron once a minute reporting me by email on occasions:
