pg_dump command inside shell scripts

Hi Folks!

Again I need a help from you!

I have develop a shell script (seen below) to do dump and vaccum
automatically.
Once pg_dump command prompts for password, I changed the $PGDATA/*hba.conf
file
to identify Linux user which starts the shell script to avoid password
prompt.
But now I need change the $PGDATA/*hba.conf file as it was originally
and
face the password prompt again.

In shell script programming how do I can do to answer this prompt?

I have done something like this:

#> pd_dump -d zakal <<!
my_password
!

But without success!

Who can help me?
