pg_dump with Plink.exe(Putty)

Question

I need to run some ssh commands on my linux server, from a windows machine via cmd.

For this I am using Plink.exe

Commando:

plink -ssh [email protected] -pw 12345 -m script

Script:

pg_dump -U master dados -v -Fc -f /sistema/dados/dados.bak

This command works normally when using native commands in the script, such as cp, mv, etc..

For commands like pg_dump, pg_restore, createdb, he says the command was not found.

PS.: The same happens using Putty.exe by windows cmd.

Answer 1

The solution to this problem was to put the entire application way. Ex.: /opt/postgres/bin/pg_dump.

I still don’t know why, but it doesn’t recognize any of these external commands when run by windows terminal.
