me wrong.
But in the meantime, maybe I will take a
bit different approach. Namely:
Is there anyway I can pass the password to
pg_dumpall via crontab?
Maybe via argv? Then I would be able to
say via crontab entry:
xx xx * * * bash /usr/local/pgsql/cronbase/moo.sh "password!"
Of course, what I am stating above doesn't work.
I am asking if you have any suggestion in a
similar fashion.
I am all ears.
Just use the .pgpass file. Here's the documentation page for 8.2:
