Leave off the tablename to do the whole db. But (unless you are on a
really old version of PG) you really shouldn't need to manually vacuum
things as that is the job of the autovacuum process.

There are unusual situations that suggest a manual analyze. It should be
run right after a cluster for instance. But they are limited special cases.

What indicates that you need to vacuum or analyze via cron?

Cheers,
Steve
