Sorry, I just noticed this message. I recently withdrew my patch set [0] for using a library instead of shell commands for restore_command, archive_cleanup_command, and recovery_end_command, as it had sat idle for a very long time. If/when there's interest, I'd be happy to pick it up again. [0] https://postgr.es/m/ZkwLqichtySV5kF3%40nathan-air.lan -- nathan
