after having set up shared directory (one for archive_command and one
for recover_command)
I could successfully start and sync the slave dbms, but after the
initial recovery
the file recovery.conf is renamed to recovery.done and no more
updates/WAL are
asked (the slave's log reads:

LOG: archive recovery complete
LOG: system database ready

)

Is there any parameter that I have to pass to the second server to keep
on requesting WALs?
I still don't understand what instructs the server to continously
request the master's logs.
