Note that the --defaults-file= option does not just specify an % alternate .my.cnf, it also prevents looking in the global configuration % files /etc/my.cnf and mysql_data_dir/my.cnf Right. % (/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf, for example). So, if you have anything % set in one of the global files which you need, you'll have to duplicate % those settings in your local files. Right. Kind of a bummer. % % Alternatively, you can use the --defaults-extra-file= option. This % reads the named file in between the global files and .my.cnf. Last % mention of a setting wins, so you would not put a password in .my.cnf in % this case. Aha! Most excellent. Yes, I think that that would be a good plus safe way to go. Then one need only make sure that mysql is in the path under cron :-) % % Wouldn't it be nice if these options were mentioned in the mysql man % page? Or is it just me? Well, it could be, but if it's there I missed it, too!
