- it's not that easy if you don't have pgadmin
- i need to backup postgres database to backup the schedules
- the use pgagent here is not very extended but the few a know have
tried desisted because they
said: "not always executed the jobs"... i don't have any real evidence
of that and probably what happens
was that the pgagent daemon wasn't working (error prone), but being it
started by the postmaster get rid of that
problem...

The first one could be rid out with a set of functions in pgagent and
clear docs...

i can live with the other two at some degree... but getting rid of
the third one should be nice :)
