Re: QUERY A PSQL DB USING CRONTAB

Hi Oliver thanks for your help, i tried with your option, but it didnt
works, so i got the logs, and found that the problem was: the crontab take
for defauklt a logname, so when it want to acces to the DB it havent access.
So when we define the user to access the crontab works fine
example
psql -d databasename -U postgress -c "command"
