Hello,

I am new in PostgreSQL and I am trying to understand what the “test” word is representing in the archive_command configuration that the PostgreSQL documentation is showing as the format on how to set up this parameter

 

archive_command = 'test ! -f /mnt/server/archivedir/%f && cp %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f'  # Unix

 

Does anybody know what is “test” representing in this parameter configuration?

 

Thank in advance for your help on this.

 

Regards,

Allie
