Sorry if this is a naive question. I'm using postgresql 7.2 on Linux
with password authentication. I wish to issue a vaccumdb command every
night via crontab. The problem is that vacuumdb always prompts for a
password. How can I pass the password to vacuumdb without having to
manually type it?

Kind regards,
