I have a shell script that I got from trante's answer in:
Linux shell script for database backup
The script runs correctly from the command line and creates the mysql backup.
However when it runs from a cron job the script executes and creates a the mysqldump file but the file is empty.
I have tried setting the PATH environment in the script but nothing I have tried works.
Regards
EDIT:
Adding script
#!/bin/sh
now="$(date +'%d_%m_%Y_%H_%M_%S')"
filename="db_backup_$now".gz
backupfolder="/mybackupfolder"
fullpathbackupfile="$backupfolder/$filename"
logfile="$backupfolder/"backup_log_"$(date +'%Y_%m')".txt
echo "mysqldump started at $(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')" >> "$logfile"
mysqldump --user=myuser --password=mypassword --default-character-set=utf8 mydatabase | gzip > "$fullpathbackupfile"
echo "mysqldump finished at $(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')" >> "$logfile"
chown myuser "$fullpathbackupfile"
chown myuser "$logfile"
echo "file permission changed" >> "$logfile"
find "$backupfolder" -name db_backup_* -mtime +8 -exec rm {} \;
echo "old files deleted" >> "$logfile"
echo "operation finished at $(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')" >> "$logfile"
echo "*****************" >> "$logfile"
exit 0
Finally I found the solution.
You have to put the path to mysql in the following line:
mysqldump --user=myuser --password=mypassword..
Which in my case is:
/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqldump --user=myuser --password=mypassword..
I'm installing mysql on windows using batch script.
#echo off
echo Installing MySQL Server. Please wait...
msiexec /i "D:\MySQL\mysql-installer-community-5.6.34.0.msi" /qn /norestart
echo Configurating MySQL Server...
"%Program Files%MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqlinstanceconfig.exe" -i -q ServiceName=MySQL RootPassword=mysql ServerType=DEVELOPER DatabaseType=MYISAM Port=3306 Charset=utf8
echo MySQL has been installed successfully
setx PATH "%%Program Files%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin%;"
pause
cd /
c:
mysql --user=root --password=mysql -e "CREATE USER 'myuser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'user1';"
;
mysql --user=root --password=mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON mydatabase.* TO 'myuser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'user1' WITH GRANT OPTION;
In the above script any mistake is there.I am getting the error.
"The system cannot find the path specified"
This following script seems to work for me. I just removed the spaces between %Program Files% and added a backward slash after %ProgramFiles%.
#echo off

msiexec /i mysql-5.5.25a-winx64.msi /passive

P.S. Batch script and installer are present in the same folder.

When I run this docker file of sql it runs.
But when I link it to application using the command
$ docker run --link mysqldb -d abc // here abc is image name of application
& mysqldb is name of sql db image.
it terminates the server and shows cannot open the connection.
Even though I had provided privileges to it and also provided the ip addr of sql image to application image.
I have seen that my sql server is running properly and it connect to mysql client also.
Please proivide a better solution**
I am using below code to install mysql silently on windows using a batch file..
Seems like it is ignoring /qn
also i have tried with /quiet but that is also not working.
it is just reading line and moving cursor to next line.
echo off

msiexec /i "mysql-essential-5.0.88-win32.msi" /qn INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\MySQL" /L* "C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-log.txt"

echo MySQL Instance Configured. Service started.
pause
I have tried directly running command but it is completely ignoring
NOTE: Setup is working fine if i run it directly, issue is with silent installation only
please suggest.
thanks.
/ni
/q
/qn
/quiet
/s
/silent
Try dashes instead of forward slashes too (-S instead of /S), and check both upper case and lower case.
Hope that helps.

I tried many scripts for database backup but I couldn't make it. I want to backup my database every hour.
I added files to "/etc/cron.hourly/" folder, changed its chmod to 755, but it didn't run.
At least I write my pseudo code.
I would be happy if you can write a script for this operation and tell me what should I do more ?
After adding this script file to /etc/cron.hourly/ folder.
Get current date and create a variable, date=date(d_m_y_H_M_S)
Create a variable for the file name, filename="$date".gz
Get the dump of my database like this mysqldump --user=my_user --password=my_pass --default-character-set=utf8 my_database | gzip > "/var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/httpdocs/backups/$("filename")
Delete all files in the folder /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/httpdocs/backups/ that are older than 8 days
To the file "/var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/httpdocs/backup_log.txt", this text will be written: Backup is created at $("date")
Change the file owners (chown) from root to "my_user". Because I want to open the backup and log files from the "my_user" FTP account.
I don't want an email after each cron. >/dev/null 2>&1 will be added.
After hours and hours work, I created a solution like the below. I copy paste for other people that can benefit.
First create a script file and give this file executable permission.
# cd /etc/cron.daily/
# touch /etc/cron.daily/dbbackup-daily.sh
# chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/dbbackup-daily.sh
# vi /etc/cron.daily/dbbackup-daily.sh
Then copy following lines into file with Shift+Ins
#!/bin/sh
now="$(date +'%d_%m_%Y_%H_%M_%S')"
filename="db_backup_$now".gz
backupfolder="/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/backups"
fullpathbackupfile="$backupfolder/$filename"
logfile="$backupfolder/"backup_log_"$(date +'%Y_%m')".txt
echo "mysqldump started at $(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')" >> "$logfile"
mysqldump --user=mydbuser --password=mypass --default-character-set=utf8 mydatabase | gzip > "$fullpathbackupfile"
echo "mysqldump finished at $(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')" >> "$logfile"
chown myuser "$fullpathbackupfile"
chown myuser "$logfile"
echo "file permission changed" >> "$logfile"
find "$backupfolder" -name db_backup_* -mtime +8 -exec rm {} \;
echo "old files deleted" >> "$logfile"
echo "operation finished at $(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')" >> "$logfile"
echo "*****************" >> "$logfile"
exit 0
Edit:
If you use InnoDB and backup takes too much time, you can add "single-transaction" argument to prevent locking. So mysqldump line will be like this:
mysqldump --user=mydbuser --password=mypass --default-character-set=utf8
--single-transaction mydatabase | gzip > "$fullpathbackupfile"
Create a script similar to this:
#!/bin/sh -e
location=~/`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.db
mysqldump -u root --password=<your password> database_name > $location
gzip $location
Then you can edit the crontab of the user that the script is going to run as:
$> crontab -e
And append the entry
01 * * * * ~/script_path.sh
This will make it run on the first minute of every hour every day.
Then you just have to add in your rolls and other functionality and you are good to go.
I got the same issue.
But I manage to write a script.
Hope this would help.

Here is my mysql backup script for ubuntu in case it helps someone.
#Mysql back up script
start_time="$(date -u +%s)"
now(){
date +%d-%B-%Y_%H-%M-%S
}
ip(){
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 2>/dev/null|awk '/inet addr:/ {print $2}'|sed 's/addr://'
}
filename="`now`".zip
backupfolder=/path/to/any/folder
fullpathbackupfile=$backupfolder/$filename
db_user=xxx
db_password=xxx
db_name=xxx
printf "\n\n"
printf "******************************\n"
printf "Started Automatic Mysql Backup\n"
printf "******************************\n"
printf "TIME: `now`\n"
printf "IP_ADDRESS: `ip` \n"
printf "DB_SERVER_NAME: DB-SERVER-1\n"
printf "%sBACKUP_FILE_PATH $fullpathbackupfile\n"
printf "Starting Mysql Dump \n"
mysqldump -u $db_user -p$db_password $db_name| pv | zip > $fullpathbackupfile
end_time="$(date -u +%s)"
elapsed=$(($end_time-$start_time))
printf "%sMysql Dump Completed In $elapsed seconds\n"
printf "******************************\n"
PS: Rememember to install pv and zip in your ubuntu
sudo apt install pv
sudo apt install zip
Here is how I set crontab by using crontab -e in ubuntu to run every 6 hours

Cool thing is it will create a zip file which is easier to unzip from anywhere
Now, copy the following content in a script file (like: /backup/mysql-backup.sh) and save on your Linux system.
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
TODAY=`date +"%d%b%Y"`
DB_BACKUP_PATH='/backup/dbbackup'
MYSQL_HOST='localhost'
MYSQL_PORT='3306'

echo "Backup started for database - ${DATABASE_NAME}"
mysqldump -h ${MYSQL_HOST} \
-P ${MYSQL_PORT} \
-u ${MYSQL_USER} \
-p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} \
${DATABASE_NAME} | gzip > ${DB_BACKUP_PATH}/${TODAY}/${DATABASE_NAME}-${TODAY}.sql.gz
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Database backup successfully completed"
else
echo "Error found during backup"
exit 1

After creating or downloading script make sure to set execute permission to run properly.
$ chmod +x /backup/mysql-backup.sh
Edit crontab on your system with crontab -e command. Add following settings to enable backup at 3 in the morning.
0 3 * * * root /backup/mysql-backup.sh
Add the following code to your shell script file. Replace dbname, dbuser and dbpass with your database name, username and password respectively.
#!/bin/sh
echo "starting db backup"
day="$(date +"%m-%d-%y")"
db_backup="mydb_${day}.sql"
sudo mysqldump -udbuser -pdbpass --no-tablespaces dbname >/home/${db_backup}
echo " backup complete"
If you want to compress the above backup data, just
Replace with the following code.
db_backup="mydb_${day}.gz"
sudo mysqldump -udbuser -pdbpass --no-tablespaces dbname | gzip -c >/home/${db_backup}
If you want to delete files older than 14 days in a folders,
use following code.
#!/bin/bash
fpath1=/home/ubuntu/mysql/*
fpath2=/home/ubuntu/postgsql/*
file_path=($fpath1 $fpath2)
for i in ${file_path[#]};
do
find $i -type d -mtime +13 -exec rm -Rf {} +
done
#!/bin/bash
# Add your backup dir location, password, mysql location and mysqldump location
DATE=$(date +%d-%m-%Y)
BACKUP_DIR="/var/www/back"
MYSQL_USER="root"
MYSQL_PASSWORD=""
MYSQL='/usr/bin/mysql'
MYSQLDUMP='/usr/bin/mysqldump'
DB='demo'
#to empty the backup directory and delete all previous backups
rm -r $BACKUP_DIR/*

#changing permissions of directory
chmod -R 777 $BACKUP_DIR
You might consider this Open Source tool, matiri, https://github.com/AAFC-MBB/matiri which is a concurrent mysql backup script with metadata in Sqlite3. Features:
Multi-Server: Multiple MySQL servers are supported whether they are co-located on the same or separate physical servers.
Parallel: Each database on the server to be backed up is done separately, in parallel (concurrency settable: default: 3)
Compressed: Each database backup compressed
Checksummed: SHA256 of each compressed backup file stored and the archive of all files
Archived: All database backups tar'ed together into single file
Recorded: Backup information stored in Sqlite3 database
Full disclosure: original matiri author.
As a DBA, You must schedule the backup of MySQL Database in case of any issues so that you can recover your databases from the current backup.
Here, we are using mysqldump to take the backup of mysql databases and the same you can put into the script.
[orahow#oradbdb DB_Backup]$ cat .backup_script.sh

MySQL Backup
I have prepared a Shell Script to create a Backup of MYSQL database.
You can use it so that we have backup of our database(s).

### End of script ####
In the script we just need to give our Username, Password, Name of Database(or Databases if more than one) also Port number if Different.
To Run the script use Command as:
sudo ./script.sc
I also Suggest that if You want to see the Result in a file Like:
Failure Occurs or Successful in backing-up,
then Use the Command as Below:
sudo ./myshellsc.sh 2>> Backup-Report.log
Thank You.
