To create universal failover script, actually you don't need to know
which is primary. "%d" is the failed node id and "%P" is the old
primary. So you could do something like:

if failed_node_id is equal to old_primary_node_id then
   promote one of standby node.
endif

This could work for the primary node is not 0.

You can play with "pgpool_setup" script to create this type of cluster
configuration sample.
