I didn't understand how to insert a password into pg_dump command line.
 
So I write this steps for insert password on pg_dump.
 
1)      Connect to postgres user
[root@]# su - postgres
 
2)      Create a .pgpass file
Bash$ vi .pgpass
 ( it contains a single line like
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html mention it)
                *:5432:database:username:password
 
Bash$ chmod 600 .pgpass
(also I change this file to being used by postgres, with chown
postgres.postgres .pgpass, I don't know if it works with root)
 
3)      The postgres dump command line
Bash$ /usr/bin/pg_dump database > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/bkup.sql
 
For finish the test, I will put the line into a crontab or script.
 
But is the same for pg_dumpall? Or I need to create another line into
.pgpass file? I'll try.
 
Thanks
