It would be nice to know how it fails and if you reposted exactly
what you wrote to make it fail and what you wrote to make it succede.

What does it mean "get hung on the comma and extra set of
parenthesis"?

ivan(at)dawn:~$ psql -h lan test -c 'drop function process_table
(action TEXT, v_table_name varchar(100));'
DROP FUNCTION
ivan(at)dawn:~$

the psql command all on the same line.
