The easiest way is to lauch pgAdmin and connect to the server. At the first time, a little window will be prompted asking you password for the user postgres, and once you will have entered this password, just check the option "Store password"... And you will never be asked to enter this password anymore when you will launch your batch file. Hope this help, Marc-André

I am running a bash script that goes through several directories (and each of their several subdirectories) of shapefiles to run shp2pgsql and put them into the correct PSQL schema and table. I'd like to be able to set it and forget it, so to speak, but each time, the shell is prompting me for the user's password. Is there a way to hardcode the password in?
