Need help on Shell script for database maintainace..
Hi All,

I have to perform some tasks for database maintainace. I am using postgresql on RHEL 4.4.
1) I have to run "vacuumedb" on the database as postgres user.
2) I have to reindex the database as postgres user.

Now i want to write shell script to do these tasks one after another. Please any one suggest me, how to write a shell script..


Thanks in advance..Smilie

What is the big deal in that ?

Call the commands, one by one !

Is the problem that you are not a postgres user?

su postgresuser commands

does that if you are root.

You could also use "sudo" to allow another user to be the postgres user for these commands; see Using sudo

In the above activity there is an interactive command "Reindex Database", I can't call this command in to a shell script. I want to do this activity without my interaction. Please suggest me what to do...
