This should work for mysqldump just as it does for mysql. What,
precisely, do you mean by "does not appear to work"? Describe what
happens. Do you get an error, or unexpected results? If an error,
what's the error message? If unexpected results, what do you expect,
and what do you get? Are you running mysqldump from the command line,
or as a cron job?

What you really want to avoid is having the password on the
commandline.
File permissions won't matter at all if you end up running a command
that puts your password in the output of 'ps'! Command lines are
always
public information. Put the password for mysqldump in the running
user's
~/.my.cnf instead, and tighten the permissions on *that* file.
[client]
password=Your password goes here
I tried that; it does work with mysql but does not appear to work with
mysqldump.
Is there a way to supply the password to mysqldump when running dump
from a
batch scipt and avoid showing it on the command line?
Thanks in advance
