I want to do auto backup for pg with cronjob. The problem is it
equesting for password.
I have tried with pgpass but still it does not work. I created the
pgpass as per below:
echo your_host:5432:your_user:your_db:your_pass > ~/.pgpass bash$ chmod
600 ~/.pgpass
My cronjob entry is as below:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump --no-owner -d helpdesk -U ganesh >
/www/htdocs/sg/backup/helpdesk.dump
When I issue the command it is asking for passwd which I cannot used for
cronjob to run at midnight.
Please help. How I do solve this problem.
I have posted this earlier the suggestion was to use pgpass but that
does not help. What other way can I achive this.
