Subject: [pgadmin-support] request for documentation correction on pgAgent-Installation

Hello,

I tried to install pgAgent on Windows XP Prof. SP2.

Documentation and help suggest:

  
  options:
    -u <user>
    -p <password>
    -d <displayname>
    -t <poll time interval in seconds (default 10)>

    -r <retry period after connection abort in seconds (>=10, default 30)>
    -l <logging verbosity (ERROR=0, WARNING=1, DEBUG=2, default 0)>

using

-u<space>username

or
-p<space>password

leads to
ERROR: Invalid command line argument

only without a space I can move on to "illegal account name"

Maybe it could be fixed in documentation or in command line parser (so that both accept a space between -u; or that documentation does not show a space between -u and username) 
 

Hi Harald,

 

I cannot reproduce this on XP SP2 here. It installs and starts correctly either with, or without a space between the option letter and the value, on both the username and the password. Are you sure you didn't mistype something?

 

Regards, Dave.
