You can set up pg_hba.conf so that only certain Unix users that have
access to the local Unix PostgreSQL socket can access the database
without a password (every other process uses a TCP/IP connection); then
move the socket location to other than /tmp and restrict its access w/
Unix controls. De

/etc/crontab, and there you can specify what user should execute the
command, without needing passwords. The system wide crontab is executed
as root and it will su to the user you specify.
For vacuuming, you could try to use the autova
This seems like it should be a frequently asked question, but I am having
trouble finding the answer. I am in the process of switching to using
Postgres, and realize that I need to run vacuum analyze regularly on the
tables. This is on a Unix system so cron is the obvious choice. The
