BTW, your pg_dump command misses a $line at the end to indicate the database to dump. And rather than checking the database name, I usually prefer to filter with datallowconn. This way: query="select datname from pg_database where datallowconn=true" for line in `psql -t -c "$query" postgres` do pg_dump -f /home/backups/`date +\%Y\%m\%d`/"$line".sql "$line" done It'll save template1 and postgres, but the script won't give me an error on template0. -- Guillaume. http://www.postgresqlfr.org http://dalibo.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
