Add example of archive_command to use with pg_receivexlog

......@@ -260,7 +260,13 @@ PostgreSQL documentation
recycle transaction log files even if the backups are not properly
archived, since there is no command that fails. This can be worked
around by having an <xref linkend="guc-archive-command"> that fails
when the file has not been properly archived yet.
when the file has not been properly archived yet, for example:
<programlisting>
archive_command = 'sleep 5 &amp;&amp; test -f /mnt/server/archivedir/%f'
</programlisting>
The initial timeout is necessary because
<application>pg_receivexlog</application> works using asynchronous
replication and can therefor be slightly behind the master.
