I can't seem to be this working. I wanted to set a shell script for mysqldump backup some databases.
I have tried:
mysqldump -uroot -ppassword
mysqldump -u root -ppassword <-- online A's says this is supposed to work
mysqldump --user=root --password=password
I keep getting access denied for user root@localhost
if I do the old fashion mysqldump -uroot -p and enter pass all is good
centos 6.8 mysql 5.7 I did install mysql manually with: http://www.tecmint.com/install-latest-mysql-on-rhel-centos-and-fedora/#
is there a mysql option that disables this?
ps
while it is running. See this question and answer on how to provide the password in a secure way.
