[ADMIN] using vacuumdb in crontab

[Cris Carampa]

Sorry if this is a naive question. I'm using postgresql 7.2 on Linux 
with password authentication. I wish to issue a vaccumdb command every 
night via crontab. The problem is that vacuumdb always prompts for a 
password. How can I pass the password to vacuumdb without having to 
manually type it?

Kind regards,
