Hi Jeff,

You cuaght me with a fine point.

but I didn't see HOME being exported.

I have changed the script accordingly:

And the result/my claim remains the same as before:

 pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": fe_sendauth: no 
password supplied

I see just one more option.  Namely, to change the
postgres user entry for pg_hba.conf to "trust" for
a short period as pg_dumpall starts and then put it
back to the way normally is (md5).  I would rather
not do that and get .pgpass or PGPASSFILE to work
for me.

I didn't really expect that to make a difference. What does your .pgpass look like? What OS user are you running the cron job as? Do you have SELINUX enabled? Can you run the script with the strace command I sent in a previous email so that we can see what's really going on?
