Re: stand by is starting until I do some work in the primary

Sure.Before the restart,I have login in the slave many times.
some more info ,but I don't think related:
centOS 6 ,amd64,128GB memory,24 core, pgsql-9.3.3,master and slave in the
same host.

this is my first instance of 9.3，I don't exprence this before on 9.0~9.2.
