[GENERAL] pg_dump shell script with ~/.pgpass

2005-01-15 Thread MargaretGillon
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 q
