*nods*
I'm familiar with heartbeat and similar utils to manage the general
concept of, well, failing-over -- but was wondering someone had already
scripted the process of adjusting the config files and rsyncing files
during a pg_backup_.. stuff.

The repmgr utility looks like exactly what I was looking for though, and
should be suitable for connecting to heartbeat, et al.

Thanks to both of you,
