Re: [RDD] Automating live reads

We use the MB rml for live reads and schedule them thru our traffic just
like a spot

MB :0.0 1 this is what you read !

Works for us

I can't say off hand what happened to rd_backup.sh, but I have a ZSH 
script that I've been using for years. It's on github at 
https://github.com/opensourceradio/ram/blob/master/usr/local/bin/database-backup

It requires ZSH because it uses a few Z-shell features that I've come to 
appreciate. There are a few variables near the top of the script that 
you might want to change (like TMPDIR, DUMPDIR, and KEEP). This script 
requires database access by a user with "root-like" database 
permissions, so I have it look for a copy of .my.cnf that has a user 
configured with those elevated privileges (see line 76).

The backup script uses mysqldump(8) to create a backup of ALL the 
databases, not just Rivendell. It creates two backup files for each 
database: one with all the data, and a second file with just the schema 
for the databases. I've never had do use the schema, but it seemed like 
a useful thing to have when I wrote it.

I've also attached the old rd_backup script to this message for your 
reference. My "database-backup" script does fundamentally the same thing 
as the attached, just in a more convoluted manner... :)

Hope this helps!

[RDD] Automating live reads

[Mark Murdock]

Is there a way to use a macro and put it in the schedule to bring up a live 
read script in an editor for an on-air personality?

Thanks,
