Consider the Operating System is installed on C drive. And what is the file type used to save passwords.

Windows logon passwords are never stored in their original form and always encrypted. They are stored in C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/config (Assuming windows installed in C drive) folder. Passwords are stored in files called sam files. But they are hashed and so encrypted.
For passwords other than windows passwords, their storage and encryption depend on the application that created those passwords. They might reside on your computer or on a remote location.

How do I make check_postgres.pl file make use of PGPASSFILE or PGPASSWORD parameters to connect to the database?
I tried setting up the environment variables in my Linux environment, but no success.
Also, is there a way to pass an encrypted password (like a md5hash) to the --dbpass variable and connect to the database?
If https://github.com/bucardo/check_postgres/blob/master/check_postgres.pl is the check_postgres.pl you are referring to, it does check the PGPASSWORD environment variable.
The question is then how to make sure that such variable exists on the environment check_postgres.pl is executed.
The nagios docs say to put whatever you need in /etc/sysconfig/nagios.
I suspect it depends a lot on how you installed nagios and/or if you installed it with some OS vendor package manager that does things differently, though.
At any rate, the docs: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=489

I have written a custom command under user 'krishna' on my laptop, and now i want it to be available for other all user without redefining to each user. For now, i have defined the command in /home/krishna/.bashrc As this file exist under user krishna and work only for krishna. is there any way i can defile it globally for all users?
You can define the command in the /etc/bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc file (which one depends on your distribution). One of these should exist on your machine.
Commands you define in your local /home/[USER]/.bashrc are only available for [USER].
Commands or aliase defined in /etc/bashrc are available for all useres

I will need to find a way of knowing what drive my usb is on, so I could copy some files from the PC on to the flash drive. I already know how to do this using powershell, however I need a way of doing it via .bat and cmd.
Thanks in advance.
Your running script is always, %0 and the drive letter holding your running script can be referenced using variable modifiers.
From Call/?
%~d1 - expands %1 to a drive letter only
Example:
Echo %~d0

My computer has two users. So can I install two different operating system for each user?
Just like windows for user1 and ubuntu for user2?
Possible with GRUB http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB
But only if it's not a problem if one user can boot up into the other OS. ( he couldnt do anything because he has no password. )
Yes, it's possible. If you use a encryption tool with a secure bootloader like DiskCryptor, you can even password-protect one operating system and boot into an alternate operating system if the password isn't entered.
