On the server, within PostgreSQL? It runs as a service on Windows or daemon on *nix, and connects to a pgagent schema in a database which may or may not be on the same machine. You can define jobs using pgAdmin (the definitions of which are stored in the database) which consist of one or more SQL or batch/shell steps. A job can be targetted at a particular server, so you can ensure batch steps run on a Windows box, and shell on a unix, or can be run by the first (or only) pgAgent instance that picks it up. SQL steps currently target a specific database, and in future releases will be able to target databases on alternate servers - a feature required for use with hot standby servers. Each job can have one or more schedules attached to it. Schedules are defined in a vaguely cron-like way, and include date/time based exception rules (so you can do things like 'run every day except for the 25/12/2008'. See http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.8/pgagent.html for more info, and screenshots. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
