Re: database backup trouble

The .bat script is of no importance: it's a windows-related problem
(or, to be more precise, the problem of my ignorance when it comes to
windows scripting). The most trivial .bat scripts containing only a
simple echo statement or nothing at all aren't executed by the
scheduler.

The _idea_ was to invoke the pg_dump statement from a script using the
syntax I already described: it shouldn't be the problem. For
completeness, this is the beanshell script:

db_name = "my_db";
out_dir = "/tmp/";

//////////////////// DALJE SE NE MIJENJA NISTA ////////////////////
archive_name = db_name;
archive_name = archive_name + "_" + Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR);
archive_name = archive_name + "-" + Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MONTH);
archive_name = archive_name + "-" + Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.DATE);
archive_name = archive_name + "_" + Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR);
archive_name = archive_name + "-" +
Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MINUTE);
archive_name = archive_name + "-" +
Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.SECOND);
archive_name = archive_name + ".backup";
print(archive_name);
command = "pg_dump -h localhost -U my_user_name my_db -f \"" + out_dir
+ archive_name + "\"";
print(command);
exec(command);
