Hi Ashish Karalkar
That's because the shell is waiting for input.
Try do something like this
su - postgres -c "${PG_PATH}/pg_dump -d qsweb -U postgres -p 5432 -Ft -f
/usr/local/pgsql/data/backup/BACKUP_QSWEB_${TIMEDUMP}.tar"
That should run the command as the postgres user.
Thanks
Bruce

Subject: [GENERAL] Automating databse creation
Hello list,
I want to automate database creation, user creation,table creation via
script. this script will be run by an external programme to postgresql
server.
is there any way?
what i want to do is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
su - postgres
TIMEDUMP=`date +%Y%m%d"_"%H%M`
PG_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin
${PG_PATH}/pg_dump -d qsweb -U postgres -p 5432 -Ft -f
/usr/local/pgsql/data/backup/BACKUP_QSWEB_${TIMEDUMP}.tar
echo ' Backup of Database for Quick School kept at path
/usr/local/pgsql/data/backup/BACKUP_QSWEB_${TIMEDUMP}.tar'
${PG_PATH}/dropdb -U qsweb qsweb
echo ' Old Database for Quick School Dropped'
${PG_PATH}/dropuser qsweb
echo ' Old user qsweb for Quick School Dropped'
${PG_PATH}/createuser -s qsweb
echo ' New user qsweb for Quick School created'
${PG_PATH}/createdb -O qsweb qsweb
echo ' New Database qsweb for Quick School created'
${PG_PATH}/createlang -U qsweb -d qsweb plpgsql
echo ' Database language plpgqslfor Quick School created'
echo ' Database for Quick School created. Please run the Create_Tables.sql
script'
${PG_PATH}/psql -U qsweb qsweb
and then Run Create_Tables.sql
_EOF_
is there any way??
right now the scripts stop after switching over to postgres user.
With regards
Ashish...
