thats line 7 by my count.
thats some very strange stuff there. AFAIK ${0%/*} means, take $0
which is the name of the invoking command ('sh' in the invocation you
gave), match and remove the results of the pattern /*
I think you're NOT supposed to invoke this script with `sh scriptname`
but instead invoke it as 'path/to/scriptname' (thereforce, it has to be
chmod +x). if it was invoked as ./script, then it would cd ., and set
SCRIPTPATH to the full path of .
again, this is a linux shell issue, has nothing to do with postgres,
regardless of the rest of the script.
