Hi,
I'm trying to script a backup program using mysqlhotcopy. I've got the
script in /root/ and i'm calling mysqlhotcopy from there. I can get the
script to work if i pass the password on the command line, but i'd rather
store it in a seperate file that I can controll access to. I've tried
creating a .my.conf file and including it in the same directory as the
script (/root), but it fails to find the password.
the .my.cnf file just had the following:
[client]
account = root
password = mypassword
What am i doing wrong?
Brian.
