You are totally right - that was a copy and paste error. For sure the dump is *.sql. Until now there is no onboard solution for this issue. Means, the import of the dump is working correct but a "message" is thrown: FEHLER: Sprache »plpgsql« existiert bereits (means ERROR: Language »plpgsql« allready exists). What I do now - and this is not really beautiful - is to erase that "message" before oputput is created from the shell script: psql -o /dev/null $DB < /var/lib/postgresql/scripts/$SQL_DUMP 2>&1 | grep -v "FEHLER: Sprache »plpgsql« existiert bereits" exit 0 Now, no output from the script is catched by the crondaemon and no email is sent. On the other hand, no error from the above line is catched at all ... unfortunately ... By the way - language plpgsql was created with createlang plpgsql template1. And because of tsearch2 it's not possible to create the db from template0. Got another idea?
