You still don't fix it? I remembered yesterday that the shell doesn't want escaped quotes inside a quoted argument, so you must quit the quoted environment and put an escaped quote, something like su - postgres -c "echo "\""copy test from '/data/log/bla';"\"" | pgsql logdb" The echo-pipe is still overkill, you can do it using -c as I showed yesterday by applying the same "trick". -- Alvaro Herrera Valdivia, Chile ICBM: S 39º 49' 17.7", W 73º 14' 26.8" "Es filósofo el que disfruta con los enigmas" (G.
