Re: Postgres jobs will not automatically login on Mac OSX

That worked!!! Thanks!!!

I have one last problem.

It works correctly at the command line:
postgres ~
$ ./pg_backup.sh

User: postgres
PWD: /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3
HOME: /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3
BACKUP_DIR: /Users/backup/postgres/
BACKUP_DIR_DATED: /Users/backup/postgres/2013-11-21/
----- Full backups Begin -----
Backing up postgres ---> /Users/backup/postgres/2013-11-21/postgres.sql.gz
Backing up rincon ---> /Users/backup/postgres/2013-11-21/rincon.sql.gz
----- Full backups End -----

When I run it as a job in postgres, it fails. Here are the results:
662 Failed 1 Thu Nov 21 19:02:38 2013 Thu Nov 21 19:02:38 2013
00:00:00.016344
User: postgres
PWD: /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3
HOME: /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3
BACKUP_DIR: /Users/backup/postgres/
BACKUP_DIR_DATED: /Users/backup/postgres/2013-11-21/
----- Full backups Begin -----
No schemas returned from database. This could be a password issue.

It is behaving like it could not login to get the schema list.
Since prompting for a password is not an error message, it is not displayed
in the error log.
How can I debug this job?

Thanks,

Pat
