+# A script to wrap ssh and rsync for PostgreSQL WAL files shipping.
+# Mahlon E. Smith <mahlon@martini.nu>
+#
+# Based off of Joshua Drake's PITRTools concept, but with some important
+# differences:
+#
+#	- Only supports PostgreSQL >= 8.3
+#	- No support for rsync version < 3
+#	- Only shipping, no client side sync (too much opportunity for failure,
+#	  and it's easy to get a base backup manually)
+#	- WAL files are only stored once, regardless of how many
+#	  slaves are configured or not responding, and are removed from
+#	  the master when they are no longer needed.
+#	- Each slave can have completely distinct settings, instead
+#	  of a single set of options applied to all slaves
+#	- slave sync can be individually paused from the master
+#	- can run synchronously, or if you have a lot of slaves, threaded async mode
+#	- It's ruby, instead of python.  :)
+#
+# wal_shipper is configurable via an external YAML file, and will create
+# a template on its first run -- you'll need to modify it!  It expects
+# a directory structure like so:
+#
+#	postgres/
+#		data/...
+#		bin/wal_shipper.rb
+#		etc/wal_shipper.conf   <-- YAML settings!
+#		wal/
+#
+# It should be loaded from the PostgreSQL master's postgresql.conf
+# as such, after putting it into your postgres user homedir under 'bin':
+#
+#	archive_command = '/path/to/postgres_home/bin/wal_shipper.rb %p'
+#
+# Passwordless ssh keys need to be set up for the postgres user on all
+# participating masters and slaves.
+#
+# You can use any replay method of your choosing on the slaves.
+# Here's a nice example using pg_standby, to be put in data/recovery.conf:
+#
+#	restore_command = 'pg_standby -t /tmp/pgrecovery.done -s5 -w0 -c /path/to/postgres_home/wal_files/ %f %p %r'
+#
+# Or, here's another simple alternative data/recovery.conf, for using WAL shipping
+# alongside streaming replication:
+#
+#    standby_mode = 'on'
+#    primary_conninfo = 'host=master.example.com port=5432 user=repl password=XXXXXXX'
+#    restore_command = 'cp /usr/local/pgsql/wal/%f %p'
+#    trigger_file = '/usr/local/pgsql/pg.become_primary'
+#    archive_cleanup_command = '/usr/local/bin/pg_archivecleanup /usr/local/pgsql/wal %r'
