Hi folks,
Let me first say that I am used to using mysql through PHP rather than
command line . . .

And, as I understand it mysql does not support any sort of “timers”.

I need to use a Unix command like cron to automate either a mysql
command or php script to output a selection from a few mysql tables into
a comma separated values fixed width text file.

Can I just write the mysql commands as a .sql  file and tell Unix to
execute it? Or is there another way?
