Re: HOWTO : plpgsql stored function spawn cron job that will run other stored functions

Again Thanks. Would you know of any documentation that details how to
programmatically control pgagent? Also something that details the tables it
uses plus maybe scripting and interface? Thanks.

Not quite clear what you are asking for.

Does PgAgent fit your needs http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.8/pgagent.html
?

If you needed jobs dynamically created for some reason I think all you
would need to do is stuff the appropriate records in the PgAgent related
tables. Although I'm not quite sure if you are looking for a simple
scheduling agent which is what PgAgent is or for something more advanced
or if you have already ruled it out for some other reason.

Hope that helps,
Regina
