Depending on what I wanted to do, and how complex the function is, I'd
probably use:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -c "SQL_Function_Call" db_name username
#EOF
You could also write the SQL to a file and have cron call
`/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -f SQL_file db_name username`.
(If there is output you might want to put that someplace as well.)
