I need to create a shell script for cron.daily to run that will do pg_dump
for my database. I am using Redhat 9 and Postgresql v7.3.4. Currently when
I run the dump manually the command I use is
#pg_dump -u -C -D -f /tmp/owl.sql owl
What should the command look like using ~/.pgpass ?
My other question... Is cron.daily is being run by root? If so would I need
to put the .pgpass file in root's home directory?
I only have two postgresql users right now, myself and postgres. On the
redhat server I have only two users, myself and root, there is no user
postgres.
TIA.
