The shell command to execute to archive a completed segment of the
WAL file series. If this is an empty string (which is the default),
WAL archiving is disabled. Any <literal>%p</> in the string is
replaced
by the absolute path of the file to archive, while any <literal>%f</>
is replaced by the file name only. Write <literal>%%</> if you need
to embed an actual <literal>%</> character in the command. For more
information see <xref linkend="backup-archiving-wal">. This option
can only be set at server start or in the
<filename>postgresql.conf</filename> file.

It is important for the command to return a zero exit status only if
it succeeds. Examples:
<programlisting>
archive_command = 'cp "%p" /mnt/server/archivedir/"%f"'
archive_command = 'copy "%p" /mnt/server/archivedir/"%f"' # Win32
</programlisting>
