MYSQL=“/usr/bin/mysql” GZIP=“bin/gzip”

mkdir $OUTPUTDIR

# get a list of databases
databases=$MYSQL --user=$USER --password=$PASSWORD \   -e "SHOW DATABASES;" | tr -d "| " | grep -v Database

# dump each database in turn for db in $databases; do
MYSQLDUMP −  − force −  − opt −  − user=USER –password=$PASSWORD
