pg_dumpall to background in bash
Post Body
Hello guys,
Is it safe to background the pg_dumpall process in bash (Ctrl Z) and then restart it with bg?
I'm doing this because I want to use the shell and not have it jammed by pg_dumpall, but need to enter my password for the prompts. I'm not sure how bash suspends and restarts the process safely or not, so I don't know if it will drop out a corrupt sql file
This is my command:
pg_dumpall -h localhost -U <myusername> | gzip > file.sql.gz
<Ctrl Z>
bg
