Hi to all,
I'm a young padawan in RHEL PostgreSQL configurations.
My past experience was in Windows Server with .bat scripts.
My Environment specs:
Client OS: Win10 Pro
PgAdmin 4.30
Remote Server with PG
Remote OS: RHEL8.3
PG Version: 13.1
PG Agent: 4.0
Background history:
I set up pgagent based on this adapted to pg_agent13 and documentation:
https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/development/using_pgagent.html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52168081/systemd-unit-for-pgagentMy job is a sh script that makes the daily backups. I test the script and run as expected on a remote server but when configure the job in PgAdmin Win10 Client using in the Code box /pathtoscript/script.sh isn´t working when I click on Run Now.
I try to put:
sh /pathtoscript/script.sh - Don't do anything to the folder of backups
/pathtoscript/script.sh - Don't do anything to the folder of backups
Checking the /var/log/pgagent_13.log I see that pgagent establish the connection and Execute the job:

My question this can be a read/write permissions on destination folder to the user pgagent?
Thank you for your time and I'm sorry if I'm asking a silly question.
