Okay my required n00b question of the week, hopefully this'll be an easy one.. I decided to give pgAgent a shot, because there's this stored sproc (sorry, function) I need to run nightly and I think spending hours figuring out pgAgent would somehow be better than the 3 minutes it would take to add a cron job that calls psql.. I'm following the directions at: http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.6/pgagent-install.html However, the heading "Daemon installation on *nix" needs me to believe that running pgagent from the command line should install the daemon, and then things should be happily running in the background. However, when I run the command line as instructed, it just sits there and does nothing. I never get returned to the bash prompt, it's as if the daemon is just running in interactive mode until I stop the process.. Maybe I'm missing something, or I have to add that command line to some config file. I'm not a unix guru but from my past experiences, I can usually run daemons with "/etc/init.d/blah start" - pgAgent doesn't seem to be installed in that manner. Second, assuming the daemon is running in interactive mode, like.. now what? The docs have no next steps. How do I create a new job to run my SQL function every night? From some documentation from Postgres Plus, I was led to believe that there should be a "Jobs" tree in pgAdmin created.. But I see nothing. Thanks!
