Both archive_command and archive_library are PGC_SIGHUP, so IIUC that
wouldn't be sufficient. I attached a quick sketch that seems to provide
the desired behavior. It's nowhere near committable yet, but it
demonstrates what I'm thinking.
What is the effect of issuing a warning like in this patch? Would it just
not archive anything until the configuration is fixed? I'm not sure what
behavior you are going for; it's a bit hard to imagine from just reading the
patch.
Yes, it will halt archiving and emit a WARNING, just like what happens on
released versions when you leave archive_command empty.
Leaving archive_command empty is an intentional configuration choice.
What we are talking about here is, arguably, a misconfiguration, so it
should result in an error.
