        The <A

        is often used in <TT

        single-standby configurations, for example:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup /mnt/server/archivedir %r'</PRE
><P>
        Note however that if multiple standby servers are restoring from the
        same archive directory, you will need to ensure that you do not delete
        WAL files until they are no longer needed by any of the servers.
        <TT
