Dunno if i get you right. You want to write the stuff found by your SELECT into a file on your local machine but the user mysql does not have permission to write anywhere in your system? If thats the problem then you have few options i think. "sudo" would be a way to go. You could give root-rights to a single command of ur choice that way. Another thing is that you can store the value from the SELECT in a bash-variable if ya like. Like this: var=`PATH/mysql --skip-column-names -e "SELECT MAX(id) FROM table" db --password=pass`; This way you can keep the value in the shell and write it wherever you have the right to write to. Well, if mysql has no rights at all that won`t help u much i think. So if ya cannot change any rights "sudo" is the only option i know of but maybe its worth to ask some linux-freaks about it...
