I wonder if this question belongs here. Please let me know in order to look for another place to ask.
I have PostgreSQL installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and wrote a batch script to get a backup of a database. Such a script must run automatically so I created a task in the Task Scheduler which runs under the Administrator account. This task fails running the batch script and provides the following message:
fe_sendauth: no password supplied
However, if I run the script directly double clicking of it, the batch executes successfully. The pgpass.conf file is also correct, otherwise, the batch script would not run manually.
I will very much appreciate your feedback.
The batch has the following instructions:
echo off
d:
cd "D:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin"
SET mes=%date:~3,2%
SET dia=%date:~0,2%
SET anio=%date:~6,4%
IF %TIME:~0,2% LSS 10 (SET hra=0%TIME:~1,1%) ELSE (SET hra=%TIME:~0,2%)
IF %TIME:~3,2% LSS 10 (SET min=0%TIME:~4,1%) ELSE (SET min=%TIME:~3,2%)
echo on
time /t
rem echo off
pg_dump -E win1252 -f d:/respaldos/edocuments/edoc_%anio%%mes%%dia%_%hra%%min%.backup -F p -n edocuments -h localhost -U postgres -w edocuments
pg_dump -E win1252 -f z:/respaldos/edocumentsdb/edoc_%anio%%mes%%dia%_%hra%%min%.backup -F p -n edocuments -h localhost -U postgres -w edocuments
echo on
time /t
rem echo off
pause
