<literal>pg_standby</literal> is designed to work with PostgreSQL 8.2 and
and later. It is currently compatible across minor changes between the way
8.3 and 8.2 operate.
</para>
<para>
PostgreSQL 8.3 provides the <literal>%r</literal> command line substitution,
designed to let <literal>pg_standby</literal> know the last file it needs to
keep. If the last parameter is omitted, no error is generated, allowing
<literal>pg_standby</literal> to function correctly with PostgreSQL 8.2
also. With PostgreSQL 8.2, the <literal>-k</literal> option must be used if
archive cleanup is required. This option remains available in 8.3.

The use of a move command seems like it would be a good idea, but this would
prevent recovery from being restartable. Also, the last WAL file is always
