I'm thinking about implementing a function which does a promotion for
the standby. It will make pgpool lot easier to control the promotion
since it allow to fire the promotion operation (either creating a
trigger file or sending a signal) via SQL, not ssh etc.
If there's enough interest, I will propose such a function for next CF.
