My actual intention was to have the filename as output of the command, 
in order to easily "pipe" it to another script. Hence my first choice 
was to use the stdout channel, considering also that pg_archivecleanup 
in dry-run mode is harmless and does not touch the content of the directory.

Yes, I agree with you here.

Let me know what you think about my reasons for the stdout channel, then 
I will send v2.

Thanks again!

Ciao,
Gabriele
