My first problem was that I was using single quotes instead of double quotes. But now I have another problem. The following command works as I want: psql -c "DELETE FROM prg_dates_members WHERE confirm = 'f';" comfire I want to be able to run the above command as a cron job. I created a script with the following command, but I get "ERROR: Attribute 'f' not found": su - postgres -c 'psql -c "DELETE FROM prg_dates_members WHERE confirm = 'f';" comfire' What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
