Re: WAL file clean up

I have the 'archive_cleanup_command' command specified, but I still have WAL files.

The documentation seems to indicate that it will run automatically, but it doesn't seem to be running.

      archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup \\\\DISKSTATION\\AccessData\\Prod\\WALfiles %r'
                   # command to execute at every restartpoint

It seems it should run every time there is a restartpoint.

Restartpoints can happen at any checkpoint in the log.

My checkpoint time out is set to 5 minutes.

      checkpoint_timeout = 5min

  Restartpoints are more likely to happen when getting closer to the size limit.   

      max_wal_size = 1GB

My folder size is now 430 files = 6.8 GB. Not terrible, but should be enough to trigger a restartpoint.

How do I tell if I haven't had a restartpoint or I did and the command didn't work.
