Re: Scheduled back up

As i experienced with pg_dump it looks like in ver.7.3 requires interactive
enter password for *custom users*.

The 7.1 will not make this kind of problems.

Still in 7.3 you can make it with cron, but as i know, only with a script
which might look like this

<?php
    exec("pg_dump -u [other options] db_name < /path_to/password_file.txt >
the_dumped_file");
?>
where password_file.txt contains:
user_name
user_password

good luck, and if u find that i already said is wrong please notify me
[2 days ago i've send [almost] the same problem and this is the only answer
that i got it]
