<listitem>
<para>The connect string required is a standard PostgreSQL libpq
connection string (see the PostgreSQL documentation for further
details). For example, the following command line will run pgAgent
against a server listening on the localhost, using a database called
'pgadmin', connecting as the user 'postgres': /usr/bin/pgagent
hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=pgadmin user=postgres</para>
