Hi guys, I'm setting up a script to backup the mysql databases on a web server. For example: mysqldump -u root --password=p@$$w0rd web8_db1/home/backup/web8_db1.sqlThis fails. But I can log in with mysql -u root -p and then type the password in, and that works. How do I get mysqldump to deal to deal with the funny characters? Thanks Hans
Put single quotes around the password.
