Hi Everyone, We are having a heck of a time getting PostreSQL utilities to honor home directories. For example, when I execute this script: sudo -H -u postgres PGPASSWORD=${password} \ psql -h "${hostname}" -U "${username}" -d "${database}" \ --command="..." It produces failures: could not change directory to "/home/jwalton/godojo": Permission denied /home/jwalton is my home directory. The postgres user does not have access to my stuff. The postgres user's home directory is /var/lib/pgsql . Reading through the `psql --help` options and searching on the web is not turning up any hits. We are also observing the errors when using pg_isready . How to make PostreSQL utilities honor home directories? Thanks in advance. Jeff
