[opennms-discuss] Backing up

[Michael J. M. <mj...@ei...>]

I am trying to do a PG_dump of the postgres db before tar to tape. If I do a
pg_dump opennms -f -u by hand it asks for a user name and password which is
opennms without a password. I am trying to get a shell script to do this and
I believe it will not work without a password in place on the database. If I
set one what else needs to be changed in Opennms so it will continue to
work? Or is thier something I am missing to do the PG_DUMP automatically via
shell script and cron.

If anyone knows - Your help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Mike McCasland
