Thanks for the response. The problem is I'm kind of stuck with using
EnterpriseDB's community edition installers. It's a company policy. I
can't install PostgreSQL using repositories, I ** have ** to use the
'Universal Installer' from EnterpriseDB.

Surely there must be a way to build repmgr for, and integrate it into, a
PostgreSQL db cluster built using EnterpriseDB? Am I really somehow
running up against a hard limit or am I simply missing something?

Martin.
