Hi,
I've installed the latest PostgreSQL release, 8.1-beta4 with default settings.
I installed the 'pgagent.sql' script and the service with the following command :
pgAgent INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p postmaster hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres
windows user (created during the installation process)
user= postgres
password = postmaster
postgresql user
user=postgres
password=postgres
I run the service with no errors.
I then created a job to fill a table with the current date and time as follow but it never run and the statistics are empty.
When refreshing, the Next run field does not change
job1
Name job1
Enabled Yes
Host agent localhost
Job class Routine maintenance
Created 24/10/2005 18.44.49
Changed 24/10/2005 18.44.49
Next run 24/10/2005 19.19.00
Last run
Last result Unknown

Unless you are running multiple agents and need to target jobs at specific ones, it's normally safe to leave this field blank which means that any agent can run the job.
