I want to use rsync to backup my db server, how do i lock all the tables for all the db's to read only so i cando my backup, then unlock them again. It needs to be done from the command line, not the mysql program. Anyone have any ideas? I have looked and couldn't find the answer i was looking before. Its running from a shell script, from my backup machine. Its currently setup to shut down the server, however i don't want to have to do this. Thanks in advance.
