Hi all,
I have following script to backup database:
--------- cut ----------
#!/bin/sh
PSQL=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql
DUMP=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump
PREFIX=`date +%j`
BACKUP_DIR=/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/.BACKUP
Databases=`$PSQL -tq -d template1 -c "select datname from pg_database"`
renice 20 $$
echo Backup started ...
for db in `echo $Databases`
do
echo "time: `date +%H%M%S` - Backup of $db in progress ..."
$DUMP -D $db > /$BACKUP_DIR/$PREFIX.$db
echo "time: `date +%H%M%S` - Backup of $db finnished ..."
done
echo Backup finnished ...
--------- cut ----------
Crontab runs it every night (4:00am - nobody is working on the machine).
But every run I have following message:
---------- cut -------------
From: Cron Daemon <root@shire.st3.makro.com.pl>

Subject: Cron <postgres@shire> /usr/local/pgsql/store3/Backup.sh

What's wrong with this script ?
It is running on Linux 2.0.33, Pentium 200, 64MB.
Please help - we save in postgres huge number of data.
