Thanks for the reply, but it still doesn't seem to run.
I followed the following steps:
1) updated the on_error_stop value to 1
2) Ran a command that should fail and exit
Any particular reason you didn't just add the --set option from #1 to the psql command in #2?
As an aside, the portion of the command "psql -c -a -f <file>" is wrong (though apparently not broken...). You specify, via "c", that you are going to provide a single command for psql to execute but then fail to provide any such command and instead change you mind and tell it your are going to provide a script file, via "f", instead.

>3) Checked my java log and it shows it ran without errors and continued with the program.
Do you realize that all psql errors will go to the postgresql log file, not java log?
