Re: trouble with pg_dumpall

Hi Phillip,

I wish I thought of the same thing What
a fine idea! And here's the result:

+++++++++
PGUSER: postgres
PGDATABASE: canon
PGHOST: localhost
PGPASSFILE: /usr/local/pgsql/.pgpass
PGDATA: /usr/local/pgsql/data
HOME: /usr/local/pgsql
PATH: /usr/local/pgsql/bin:/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/java/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/ant/bin:.
|----------|
*:5432:canon:postgres:mysecret
|----------|
Password:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": fe_sendauth: no password supplied

Try adding this to your script after the echo PATH: $PATH line, just for
debugging purposes:

/bin/echo "|----------|"
if [ -f ~/.pgpass ] ; then
/bin/cat ~/.pgpass
else
/bin/echo ".pgpass missing"
fi
/bin/echo "|----------|"
