Yes, it was a typo in the message but I entered and ran the command correctly.
Some new information. I ran the command again but used a superuser account and added password=jjjj to the command line. My test script is being run by pgAgent every two minutes. It shoud be running every minute. I know this is not the suggested method for security reasons. Any idea what is wrong with the postgres account that woud not allow it to be used?
