Bash script to check MySQL database for errors (tables check)

mysql-check.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# #automysqlcheck.sh
#
# This is a small bash script that checks all mysql databases for errors
# and mails a log file to a specified email address. All variables are
# hardcoded for ease of use with cron. Any databases you wish not to check
# should be added to the DBEXCLUDE list, with a space in between each name.

# VER 1.4 - (2010-10-18)
# Added I/O redirection to $LOGFILE
# added flush & lock tables before check
# modified the database exclusion so that it works also with Darwin/Mac OS X
# Modified by Fabrizio La Rosa
# VER 1.3 - (2006-12-02)
# Added --host=$DBHOST in mysql commands, so it's useful for non-localhost situations
# Jake Carr
# VER 1.2 - (2006-10-29)
# Added "\`" arround the tables in $DBTABLES, otherwise it'll create
# errors if tablenames containt characters like -.
# Modified by Mickael Sundberg
# VER 1.1 - (2005-02-22)
# Named script automysqlcheck.sh
# Added PATH variable to make this script more CRON friendly
# Removed the $DBTABLES loop and replaced it with single command
# that executes the CHECK TABLE command on all tables in a given DB
# Changed code to only check MyISAM and InnoDB tables
# Cleaned up output to make the email prettier
# Modified script to skip databases that have no tables
# Modified by eyechart
# VER 1 - (2004-09-24)

Line 107 for testing logfile for corruption does not work. If a db rows name contain the string error (e.g. piwik_logger_error) the rule matches. You have to test the last field in each line that matches "NOT OK"
