# The important part is not to put the password as an argument to the mysql
# commands, i.e. don't 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. Make the file readable for the owner only: chmod 400 /root/.my.cnf
