Hi All,
Can anybody tell after finding the trigger file what steps does postgres follow?
When and how it will set the postgres recovery mode to false?

file specifying the standby promotion in $PGDATA/pg_event or elsewhere,
and send SIGUSR1 to postmaster. OTOH, when SIGUSR1 arrives, postmaster
checks whether that event file exists. If it does, postmaster removes it and
sends the signal to startup process for standby promotion.
Thought?
