Hi all. I currently have one master and one slave, and the slave cleans up the unneeded WAL files via pg_archivecleanup.

I'm adding a third slave and I was wondering what the best practices are in terms of managing these WAL files when there's more than one dependent server, in a situation where you can't have a slave removing the files.

I thought I could just cron up a removal of logs older than X days, which seems pretty easy, but not sure.

Thanks!
