I do the same thing in the instructions, but I have not created the file /tmp/postgres_master

root@XAlpha:/etc/pgpool2# cat /etc/pgpool2/pgpool.conf | grep follow_master_command
follow_master_command = 'echo %M > /tmp/postgres_master'

root@XAlpha:/etc/pgpool2# /etc/init.d/pgpool2 restart
[ ok ] Restarting pgpool-II: pgpool.
