I have not used pg_standby, so the above was helpful. I now see that
warning in the docs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/warm-standby.html
25.2.4. Setting Up a Standby Server
"Note: Do not use pg_standby or similar tools with the built-in standby
mode described here. restore_command should return immediately if the
file does not exist; the server will retry the command again if
necessary. See Section 25.4 for using tools like pg_standby."
Going to section 25.4 explained a lot. Thanks for the information.
