Script automysqlbackup
@hcgtv and linux lovers
I use the script automysqlbackup which work fine.
But, the option “files” (which send log file and sql file as attachements) work only if Mutt is installed on the server
Is somebody know , if a solution exist without the presence of Mutt
Thanks for your response.

Re: Script automysqlbackup
Yep, I ran into this some time back.
At the time, I had a friend hack the script to use metamail instead, then installed metamail.
Not sure I can be more helpful than that, sorry.

Re: Script automysqlbackup
Yep, but what pyer is asking doesn’t relate to cron in any way. The script calls on “mutt” which is a unix app to mail out the database dumps when called. His server does not have mutt installed.
He can call the script with cron till the cows come home but it’s not going to run something that’s not there. Hence the metamail solution. However, I suppose if you can install “metamail” you can probably install “mutt”.
Good luck.

That’s why you are a web pro and I’m not:) Thought I was helping there:(

Re: Script automysqlbackup
Mutt can handle attachments:
BACKUPFILES=`echo "$BACKUPFILES" | sed -e "s# # -a #g"` #enable multiple attachments
mutt -s "$ERRORNOTE MySQL Backup Log and SQL Files for $HOST - $DATE" $BACKUPFILES $MAILADDR < $LOGFILE #send via muttNeither Pine nor Elm can cope nicely with email attachments, the other two email alternatives that might be on your web server. I would ask your hosting provider to install Mutt, they may comply.

Re: Script automysqlbackup
sorry colak, didn’t mean to sound snappy.
I’m far from a pro, just happened to have some background on this one.
If you are posting, you are helping… :)
