Hello.
I am using mysql 4.0.18 on rh3, and I would like to daily save db state. I have this small script under the cron directory that when executed from the prompt works fine. Basically the dump is done by: mysqldump --user=root --password=<root-password> --opt bugs > $BACKUPDIR$BACKUPSQLFILE My problem is that it does not seem to work when the crond calls the script. The result of the dump is a zero size sql file. I know this might be a Linux problem,but nevertheless what might be the cause? Regards, Alex
