Re: How to create a new user with password in commandline with no prompt for password - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi Vishal

Now I m able to create new user using command line
I ve created a database named 'postgres' for postgres user and I ve created
the new user  in  comand line

The steps I ve used


[root@g151 ~]# su postgres -c "createdb postgres"
could not change directory to "/root"
CREATE DATABASE
[root@g151 ~]# echo "CREATE USER globus WITH PASSWORD 'globus' CREATEDB;" |
psql -U postgres -d postgres
psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"
[root@g151 ~]# su postgres -c "echo \"CREATE USER globus WITH PASSWORD
'globus' CREATEDB;\" | psql -U postgres -d postgres"
could not change directory to "/root"
CREATE USER
[root@g151 ~]# su globus -c "createdb rftDatabase"
could not change directory to "/root"
CREATE DATABASE
