I don't know about .pgpass, so I can't help you with that. Root does run
cron.daily. You can setup your own personal crontab entries by issuing the
following command:
crontab -e
Do this with your personal account, not root. You will get a vi session when
you execute this command and then you can setup you backup to occur as you
desire.
Here is what mine looks like:
# min hour dom mon doy command
# --- ---- ---- ---- ----- ---------------
30 7,12,22 * * * /esc/source.bkp
0 22 * * * cd /esc/pgrnd/prog;
./dbDump.sh rnd
Word wrap has screwed up the alignment, but you get the idea.
