Passwd for psql

nethook · 10-23-2004, 09:02 AM

Hello All,

I am trying to specify a passwd to start psql on an init script but I don't know how.

What is the switch to specify the password using psql:

psql -U ${USER} -? ${PASSWORD}

I already know -p is port and -P is for printing options...any help would be appreciated

BTW have you looked at the man pages for psql options? It lists all of the command line options. Have you tried searching the internet for information?

If you still need help then ask away.
