seeking PITR archive_command advice

Hello All,

 

I am trying to set up continues archiving of WAL files.

I have some doubt about the archive command %p and %f parameter.

 

I am havining all 5/6 WAL files in following directory. 

 

usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog

 

My questions are

 

1) what will be the value for %p parameter

will  it be

/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog ?

 

is yes it is giving me following error

cp: omitting directory `/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/

 

2)

which file name i should give in place of %f parameter as there are 5/6 files already?

 

Thanks in Advance

 

With Regards
