Hi all,

I tend to agree with Simon, but I confess that I don't liked to delay a
server with standby_mode = 'off'.

The main goal of this patch is delay the Streaming Replication, so if the
slave server isn't a hot-standby I think makes no sense to delay it.

Mitsumasa suggested to add "StandbyModeRequested" in conditional branch to
skip this situation. I agree with him!

And I'll change 'recoveryDelay' (functions, variables) to 'standbyDelay'.

Regards,
