Re: Point in Time Recovery

Dear Simon,

I've just tested pitr_v5_2.patch and got an error message
during archiving process as follows.

-- begin
LOG: archive command="cp /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/0000000000000000 /tmp",return code=-1
-- end

The command called in system(3) works, but it returns -1.
system(3) can not get right exit code from its child process,
when SIGCHLD is set as SIG_IGN.

So I did following change to pgarch_Main() in pgarch.c

-- line 236 ---
- pgsignal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);

-- line 236 ---
+ pgsignal(SIGCHLD, SIG_DFL);

After that,
the error message doen't come out and it seems to be working propery.

Regards,
Hisada, Masaki
