If the pg_xlog directory is growing it is likely that either:

* wal_keep_segments is set high and your slave is not correctly
receiving updates.

* You are using a replication slot and the slave is not correctly
receiving updates.

If your archive_command does not return a success, your pg_xlog will
also grow but you don't need the archive_command *IF* your streaming
replication is working *UNLESS* you are also doing archiving or PITR.
