Because pgAgent must connect to the database where the jobs are defined as well as whichever ones you are running jobs in.

Hello,
I created a connection string like that "localhost:5432:marketing:postgres:zryt678" in %APPDATA%\postgresql\pgpass.conf
but that dosen't work I have in my log file this message :
"Couldn't create connection: fe_sendauth: no password supplied"
thank you
Perhaps you need a similar entry for the database in which the pgAgent configuration data is stored? (probably the postgres database).
