I've gotten the proof-of-concept stage for our replication system set up,
and now I'm looking at going to production.  Just a few questions:
 
1. How does one typically start the slon daemons?  I would prefer to have a
chkconfig-standard file that I could stick into /etc/init.d , and I'll build
one if I have to, but I'm sure someone out there has something that will
help.
 
2. What are good "best practices" for dealing with failure modes?  I've
recreated a cluster with a failed master by removing the slony instance from
the slave, and then re-creating the whole system, but is there a better way
to promote surviving slave to take over for a dead master?
 
3. Anyone have any good scripts for encapsulating the slonik commands?
 
Thanks!  I've been impressed with how well a lot of this stuff works, and
how well-documented it is up until this point.  I'm just looking for
something I can pass along to others who aren't as familiar with the system
as I am.
