Turns out that PG 8.4.20 is also installed from the RHEL repository.

Thanks.

When running "vacuumdb -p5433 -j4 --analyze tap_d" from a bash prompt, it works as expected:
$ vacuumdb -p5433 -j4 --analyze tap_d
vacuumdb: vacuuming database "tap_d"

But not when running from crontab:
vacuumdb -p5433 -j4 --analyze tap_d
vacuumdb: invalid option -- 'j'
Try "vacuumdb --help" for more information.

Obviously I'm missing something, but don't see what it is.  Attached is the script it runs from.


Is your user and PATH the same? ie. are you running the same vacuumdb executable?
