Hey, maybe I answered part of my own question (thanks to the book
"Essential System Administration from O'Reilly). There is a file on
Mac OS X at:
/usr/share/init/tcsh/rc that starts with the following:
##
# TCSH Expanded C-Shell INITIALIZATION FILE
#
# Wilfredo Sanchez Jr. | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# July 09, 1992
#
# MIT Project Athena
#
# ORIGINAL SOURCES: /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc (ATHENA REL 7.3P)
##
Adding the following and restarting the telnet session seems to work:
alias specialmysqldump
/Applications/Special/SpecialMySQL/bin/mysqldump
--socket=/tmp/SpecialMySQL.sock
alias specialmysqladmin
/Applications/Special/SpecialMySQL/bin/mysqladmin
--socket=/tmp/SpecialMySQL.sock
alias specialmysql /Applications/Special/SpecialMySQL/bin/mysql
--socket=/tmp/SpecialMySQL.sock
I now get the list of databases for the Special installation when
using specialmysql as a command.
And if I use with parameters or redirect to a file it also works:
specialmysqldump --opt special_site_1 > /temp.mysql
And this actually added a database called special:
root% specialmysqladmin create special
Hurray!
