php - mysqldump - cron job -


am trying auto backup of our mysql database via cron job runs daily.

we have:

$database_user = 'value'; $database_pass = 'value'; $database_server = 'localhost'; // name of database backup $database_target = 'value'; // database dump $sql_backup_file = $temp_dir . '/sql_backup.sql'; $backup_command = "mysqldump -u" . $database_user . " -p" . $database_pass . " -h " .      $database_server . " " . $database_target . " > " . $sql_backup_file; system($backup_command); // end database dump

problem message cron daemon with:

usage: mysqldump [options] database [tables]

or mysqldump [options] --databases [options] db1 [db2 db3...]

or mysqldump [options] --all-databases [options]

for more options, use mysqldump --help

sh: -h: command not found

so looks has -h

~~~

anyone have thoughts on how fix?

first, recommend upgrade mysql 5.6+ can keep database passwords more secure. first, follow instructions this stackoverflow answer set more-secure mysql login method command line scripts.

you should write bash script instead of using php. here's full backup script, simple. db_name name of database, , /path/to/backup_folder/ want store backups. --login-path=local switch in home directory of whoever running bash script , see if there login file there (must readable current user , accessible no 1 else).

#!/bin/bash #$now provide timestamp in filename backup now=$(date +"%y%m%d-%h%m%s")  db=/path/to/backup_folder/"$now"_db_name.sql.gz mysqldump --login-path=local db_name | gzip > "$db"  #you change permissions on created file if want chmod 640 "$db"

i save file db_backup.sh inside of /usr/local/bin/ folder , make sure readable/executable user going doing db backups. can run # db_backup.sh anywhere on system , work.

to make cron, put file called 'db_backup' (the name doesn't matter) inside /etc/crond.d/ folder looks (user_name user supposed run backup script)

shell=/bin/bash path=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:usr/local/bin mailto=root home=/ # "user_name" try run "db-backup.sh" every day @ 3am 0 3 * * * user_name db-backup.sh

css - Make div keyboard-scrollable in jQuery Mobile? -

from can tell, although jquery-mobile-powered pages can contain divs overflow set scroll or auto, , these divs can scrolled one-screen bar or mouse wheel, cannot scrolled using arrow keys, page-up/page-down, or home/end. instead, official "page" div (with data-role="page") absorbs input. perhaps other divs can't acquire focus, i'm not sure. is there way around this? edit: jsfiddle of simple example: https://jsfiddle.net/qogz0shx/ <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile.min.js"> </script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.css"/> <style> #outer { overflow:scroll; height: 50vh; width: 50vw; } #inner { height: 500vh; width: 500vw; } ...
