The same idea that you referred to as pg_system occurred to me, too. But I wondered if the archiver process can get
thepid of its child (shell? archive_command?), while keeping the capabilities of system() (= the shell). Even if we
fork()and then system(), doesn't the OS send SIGQUIT to any descendents of the archiver when postmaster sends SIGQUIT
tothe child process group?
