In response to Running vacuum on cron  (Pedro Alves <pmalves@think.co.pt>)
List pgsql-general
Hello Pedro,

Two solutions
1) Give access to PostgreSQL from root user and run commands from
/etc/crontab. Not secure.
2) su postgres and use the crontab command as explained in
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~forsberg/linux/cron.html

Best regards,
