Hi all,
 
I'm using PostgreSQL 8.0.2 on Solaris 10.
I would like to manage an automatic backup of my database.
 
Here is the line in the cron :
37 * * * * . $HOME/.profile; pg_dump alis -U postgres -f $AQSADIR/data/backup/alis_data.sql -a -d >/dev/null 2>&1
The dump execution is OK but my user gets a mail containing the following message :
 
Your "cron" job on ALIS
. $HOME/.profile; pg_dump alis -U postgres -f $AQSADIR/data/backup/alis_data.sql -a -d >/dev/null 2>&1
 
produced the following output:
 
stty: : No such device or address
What's wrong with it ?
