# MySQL/mariaDB secure authorization file.
#
# To not have to put the password as an argument to the mysql commands, i.e. we don't want to
# use the -p option. Instead use a .my.cnf file in the home dir of the user you are running this 
# script as, i.e. /root/.my.cnf if running as root. This way you can securely run mysqldump as 
# root without the password being exposed in the process list. First create a .my.cnf in the home 
# dir of root and make sure only root can read or change it by running the following three commands:
#
sudo touch /root/.my.cnf
sudo chown 0:0 /root/.my.cnf
