The $ isn't part of the command, it just just part of the shell's command-line prompt.

My shell command line prompt looks like this:

richard(at)db_server01 ~ $

if i want to jump a database then I would type the following command after the prompt:

richard(at)db_server01 ~ $ pg_dump mydb > db.out
