Subject: [PATCH v8 1/2] Move extra code out of the Pre/PostRestoreCommand() block.
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2023 14:27:48 -0800

If SIGTERM is received within this block, the startup process will
immediately proc_exit() in the signal handler, so it is inadvisable
to include any more code than is required in this section.  This
change moves the code recently added to this block (see 1b06d7b and
7fed801) to outside of the block.  This ensures that only system()
is called while proc_exit() might be called in the SIGTERM handler,
which is how this code worked from v8.4 to v14.
