I find it hard to believe that that would work at all. If so, then there would be no need for an array of arguments, one could merely pass the entire command line. I suspect, but haven't actually tested, that this would be about the same as doing

execl( "postgres", "postgres", "arg1", "arg2...", "|", "rotatelogs", "arg1", "arg2...", NULL );

i.e., passing |, rotatelogs, arg1, and arg2 to postgres.
