Hi it helped me a lot ,
I did my script like this for backing my zabbix
database
import os, time
# difine the target directory
target_dir = '/home/john/backup/z-b-weekly/zabbix'
# in the formar year-month-day-hours-minute-secound
# uses time module
today = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S')
# For testing purpose only I had kept %M %S , we can
remove it later
now = target_dir + today
os.system("mysqldump -u root -pjohn zabbix >
"+now+" " )
Thanks A LOT
Joseph
