I'm currently trying to run a .sh file which will backup my database.

The initial psql command is as follows:

psql -h "$HOSTNAME" -U "$USERNAME" -W "$PASSWORD" -At -c "$SCHEMA_ONLY_QUERY" postgres

I'm getting the error:

psql: warning: extra command-line argument "postgres" ignored

I'm not sure if I followed the psql documentation properly, because if I remove the -W "$PASSWORD" part then it suddenly works but I have to enter the password every time.

I want to include the password so that it doesn't ask me for password repeatedly.
