recovery_1st_stage command failed if there are a lot of archived files

[yxdmarco]

when i recover a standby node pg216(old primary) using pcp_recovery_node command, if there were too many archived log files in $ARCHIVEDIR，the command failed.

[root@pg216 ~]# pcp_recovery_node -h pgvip -p 9898 -U pgpool -n 0
Password:
ERROR: executing recovery, execution of command failed at "1st stage"
DETAIL: command:"recovery_1st_stage"

then i tried to remove these archived log files using rm command, it failed

[root@pg216 ~]# rm -f /data/archivedir/*
/bin/rm: cannot execute [Argument list too long]

then i removed these archived log file using find + rm commands, it succeeded.

[root@pg216 ~]#find /data/archivedir/ -name "0*" -exec rm -f {} ;

and then pcp_recovery_node command succeeded.

[root@pg216 ~]# ls /data/archivedir/
[root@pg216 ~]# pcp_recovery_node -h pgvip -p 9898 -U pgpool -n 0
Password:
pcp_recovery_node -- Command Successful

could the command that cleans archived log files can change from "rm -rf ${ARCHIVEDIR}/" to "find ${ARCHIVEDIR}/ -name "0" -exec rm -f {} ;" in recovery_1st_stage and follow_primary.sh ?
