Unless things have changed, and they might have, you have to tell cron to reread the crontab file for it to process your addition. Your better solution is to use the tools designed for editing crontab, such as 'crontab -e.' If you use this tool, crontab will automagically reread the file.
One question , if you set access to server with password in pg_hba.conf how can you pass the apssword in the script?
