You mean pcp_recovery_command hangs?

> I suspect it's some settings in one of the configuration files (pgpool.conf, postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf, pool_hba.conf, recovery_1st_stage, pgpool_remote_start, etc.) or system settings (authentication, etc.) that I applied when following the instructions in the documentation.  Probably need to correct something.

Can you share those files (including recovery.conf) so that I can examine them?

> Yeah, I was probably restarting both pgpool and postgresql service repeatedly.  Looks like after I used the scripts from your new link, it went away, but now I'm getting the new issue where it just hangs and does nothing.  I suspect it's some settings in one of the configuration files (pgpool.conf, postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf, pool_hba.conf, recovery_1st_stage, pgpool_remote_start, etc.) or system settings (authentication, etc.) that I applied when following the instructions in the documentation.  Probably need to correct something.

Does anyone know how long it takes?  I heard that the standby recovery takes a long time, but does it really take this long?  I have around 15 databases that totals about 300-500 MB of data that Pgpool2 is supposedly trying to recover right now.
