I have three comments: - Will we call it "failover"? We will use the command also in "switchover" operations. "pg_ctl promote" might be more neutral, but users might be hard to imagine replication feature from "promote". - pg_ctl should unlink failover_files when it failed to send failover signals. - "standby_triggered" variable might be renamed to "failover_triggered" or so. -- Itagaki Takahiro -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
