To answer both emails...
My first install is Puppet :)
1) I have many clients (schools with Macs/Linux) that could use this
package. This is in the works - good call.
For the sake of DRP (Disaster Recovery Planning) I automate all of my
installs on the 1% off-chance that my backups are partially fouled for
some reason.
2) I used the .sql file that you recommended and wow - it's so much
easier than expect.
Once I had the right key-words (mysql .sql script) Google returned the
right pages:
4.5.1.4. Executing SQL Statements from a Text File
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/batch-commands.html
The problem I have now is variable substitution. But, that's another thread.
Thanks guys,
TT

just place all your sql sentences in a file, setup the database and
then use:
mysql -uroot -hlocalhost < file_with_allsql_you_need.sql
or
cat file_file_with_allsql_you_need.sql | mysql -u root -hlocalhost
and you are done.

I'm looking for automation direction...
I've found many packages that sit on top of MySQL. For the
purposes of consistency I'd like to automate these installs.
I've been able to automate the install and configuration of
everything except the mysql part.
I'm using CentOS 5.5. Installing/verifying is no big deal.
It's the MySQL configuration that's holding me up.
Basically I've created an expect script. It works 99% but it's a
PITA to finish. Here's what I'd like to accomplish:
*Set the default admin password
# mysqladmin -u root password 'root-password'
*login to mysql
mysql> mysql -u root -p
*Drop the anonymous accounts
mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user = '';
*Sync all of the root passwords
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password =
PASSWORD('root-password') WHERE User = 'root';
*Remove the test database:
mysql> drop database test;
In another script I would like to create databases for specific
packages. EG:
Concrete5, for example needs:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER ON
concrete5.db TO 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'admin-password';
If there is a better way to do this than using expect I would
greatly appreciate any pointers in the right direction. Bash is
comfortable for me and perl is within reach. I'm not much versed
in anything else right now.
