Hi Steve,
I have changed my script to:
#! /bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/java/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/ant/bin:.
PGHOME=/usr/local/pgsql
PGUSER=postgres
PGDATABASE=canon
PGHOST=localhost
PGPASSFILE=/usr/local/pgsql/.pgpass
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
export PGUSER PGDATABASE PGHOST PGPASSFILE PGDATA LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PGHOME PATH
echo +++++++++
echo PGUSER: $PGUSER
echo PGDATABASE: $PGDATABASE
echo PGHOST: $PGHOST
echo PGPASSFILE: $PGPASSFILE
echo PGDATA: $PGDATA
echo HOME: $HOME
echo PATH: $PATH
filename=`date +%G%m%d.%w`.gz
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dumpall > $filename
And here's the result:
+++++++++
PGUSER: postgres
PGDATABASE: canon
PGHOST: localhost
PGPASSFILE: /usr/local/pgsql/.pgpass
PGDATA: /usr/local/pgsql/data
HOME: /usr/local/pgsql
PATH: /usr/local/pgsql/bin:/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/java/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/ant/bin:.
Password:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": fe_sendauth: no password supplied
As you can see, I am afraid my point still holds.
Regards,
Tena Sakai

You have an extremely minimal environment when running from cron, and you certainly *aren't* running from the home directory of the relevant user. You need to set up your PATH and HOME manually, and cd to your home directory before sourcing .bashrc for this to work.
. ~/.bashrc *might* work, but it's better to be specific (:
hth,
Steve
