Hmm. That would imply that pg_receivexlog calls /bin/sync. "sync 
command" was confusing before, but putting it in <command> tags makes it 
even more so.

I think that should be rewritten:

Flush the WAL data to disk immediately after it's being received. Also 
send a status packet back to the server immediately after flushing, 
regardless of <literal>--status-interval</>
