Postgres 9.0 will be the first release to mention /bin/true as a way of
turning off archiving in extraordinary circumstances:

Setting archive_mode to a command that does nothing but return true, e.g. /bin/true,
"return true" seems ambiguous for me. How about writing clearly
"return a zero exit status" instead?
This is a good catch, and I have a work in progress update to that doc
section that fixes that wording, as well as rearranging the recent
additions a bit. Really that whole "/bin/true" big needs to go after
the example. A very brief intro to what "exit status" means on various
platforms might be in order too. I'm adjusting all that to read better,
once I'm happy with it I'll submit a doc patch in the next week or two
with the final result.
