pgAgent setup

["Paolo Saudin" <paolo(at)ecometer(dot)it>]

Hi,
    I've installed the latest PostgreSQL release, 8.1-beta4 with default settings.
I installed the 'pgagent.sql' script and the service with the following command :
pgAgent INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p postmaster hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres

windows user (created during the installation process)
    user= postgres
    password = postmaster

postgresql user
    user=postgres
    password=postgres

I run the service with no errors.

I then created a job to fill a table with the current date and time as follow but it never run and the statistics are empty.

When refreshing, the Next run field does not change

Any idea on what am I doing wrong?
