Hi, I have setup cronjobs to take daily backups of my db using mysqldump. But the problem is, mysqldump requires the password to be passed via command line, which means anyone on the same machine can take a peek at my password using "top", "ps -ef", etc.
Is there a way of avoiding this, i.e. making it read the password from some file, etc? Or, is there any other alternative I can use? Thanks... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
