great ;) but i'll transfer it compressed with scp, so it's no big problem for
me. But a "-z"-switch would probably be useful for lots of people.

yes, just like mysqldump...? ;)

It surely is useful. i'll write two or three shell-scripts around, so it
automatically transfers the tar-file to the slave ans starts another script
there that puts the data in the right directory and restarts the
replication... So in case the replication crashes, it's just a "click" and
everythings fine again. ;) that'll save me a lot of time!
but i need to be able to select *one* database and exclude *one* table from
that database... if there's nobody else needing that, i'll just make some
changes in your script and customize it for my system, otherwise I (or you?)
could add that feature ,although i won't find much time for that before
february. i'll see what the response is by then.

thanks to you for the script!
(i thought about programming something like that, too, but just didn't come
any further than thinking about it... i just didn't have more time. :( )
