"I keep getting 'command not found'. "
This error indicates that your shell cannot find the mysql file to execute (or that it is not executable for some reason... bad permissions). This can be caused by mysql (client) not being installed or by the client not being on a path that your user can see.

Did you install MySQL on the other box? It sounds like you took a snapshot of the data but have not installed the executables yet.

I am trying to transfer a database from one linux box to another, both using
redhat.
On one I performed a mysqldump and it worked fine.
On the other I created the database using a manager and tried the 'mysql username password database < filename.sql' command
The problem is, I cannot seem to get the box to see the mysql.
I found it in init.d
The mysql in init.d is a control script that starts and stops the daemon. It is not the mysql client program and mysql <> mysqld.
vi (or whatever your text editor preference may be) the script and look at it. You can find your bin dir somewhere in this file. Once you find it you can see if "mysql" is in there.
I have root access
try "su -" instead of "su" if that is what you are using for root access.
I keep getting 'command not found'.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
