Hi I need help writing a script for something I need to write a script to backup my MySQL database
basically my command is this
mysqldump -p -B WEB > file
this asks me for my password and then proceeds to write to file
what I want to do is script it so that it doesnt ask me for a password it takes the password automatically from the script and to change the name of the file to the current date.
Thanks
