Hi list,
I'm trying to backup up database in /etc/cron.daily. I've played with
mysql dump with the following syntax:
mysqldump --opt -p my_dbf.db > my_dbf.backup
mysqldump --opt -p "my_password" my_dbf.db > my_dbf.backup
mysqldump --opt -p my_dbf.db > my_dbf.backup < pswd
(pswd contains the password)
In each case, I still get prompted for the password. How can I automate
this so that is accepts the password that I include. I guess what I am
looking for is the proper syntax or a neat trick.
Thanks,
Don
