Hi Fritz, The new version of 502.pgsql, uses variables set in /etc/periodic.conf to=20 handle the stuff previously set in ~pgsql/.profile. The tasks performed are identical, i.e. it vacuums all databases and makes=20 backups to a backup directory. If you have made your own modifications to 502.pgsql and you want to keep=20 running it instead of the new installed version, I suggest you rename=20 something else, like 503.pgsql or whatever, and set=20 daily_pgsql_vacuum_enable=3D"NO" in /etc/periodic.conf. Please check the script for more info, it's header is pretty informative. Best regards, Palle
