Thanks Neill...
Tried changing the command in the script to:
/usr/bin/pg_dumpall -U $PGUSER -o | gzip > mkdir -p
$BACKUP_DIR/$PGyy/$PGmm/$PGdd/pg_all-$PGtt.gz
and got this error:
# ./ecat_pgdump.sh
gzip: invalid option -- 'p'
Tried putting quotes around it like this:
/usr/bin/pg_dumpall -U $PGUSER -o | gzip > "mkdir -p
$BACKUP_DIR/$PGyy/$PGmm/$PGdd/pg_all-$PGtt.gz"
and got the original error with the added 'mkdir -p':
# ./mypg_pgdumpall.sh
./mypg_pgdumpall.sh: line 10: mkdir -p
/home/user/mypg_backups/2013/May/Sun/ecat-14:26.gz: No such file or
directory
I'm guessing I just need to know where to put the quotes?
