Hi Murthy,
look at parameter "pause_at_recovery_target" and
"recovery_target_time" with these parameters in the recovery.conf you could
reach a point in the timeline to recover the database and then see if it's
all ok and then finish the recovery with pg_xlog_replay_resume. If you want
instead continue the recovery you have to stop the backend and change the
parameter of recovery_target_time in the recovery.conf and restart the
postmaster.
