Thanks Ray for the reply.

Actually I am testing replication in a test Database & I'm the sole user of that .
No connections or no activity is happening in the database.pg_stat_activity just shows my connections with the status as 'IDLE'.

For more information on this,

When the standy server is stopped, then the pg_xlog's in the master server are stagnant.

As soon as I start the standby server in recovery mode and as soon as that server starts reading the data from Master server, the pg_xlog files in Master server are getting created. And this looping of standy server reading the files & Master server creating new log's is continuing for hours. SO I doubt somewhere in the set up the process is looping and here I need the help.

Thanks
Jahnavi

How did you determine there was no activity? Have you queried pg_stat_activity during this xlog generation?
