This method is not works on zsh and csh (FreeBSD, OSX):

echo "\\set dba '"'\''\'"i `pwd`/postgres_dba/start.psql'"

zsh:
\set dba '\i /home/aquila/postgres_dba/start.psql'

bash:
\set dba '\\i /home/aquila/postgres_dba/start.psql'

csh:
\\set dba '\\i /usr/home/aquila/postgres_dba/start.psql'

I found an alternative method:

printf "%s %s %s %s\n" \\set dba \'\\\\i `pwd`/postgres_dba/start.psql\'

zsh:
\set dba '\\i /home/aquila/postgres_dba/start.psql'

bash:
\set dba '\\i /home/aquila/postgres_dba/start.psql'

csh:
\set dba '\\i /usr/home/aquila/postgres_dba/start.psql'

It's works on FreeBSD, Linux and OSX :)
