To answer both emails...
My first install is Puppet :)
1) I have many clients (schools with Macs/Linux) that could use this
package. This is in the works - good call.
For the sake of DRP (Disaster Recovery Planning) I automate all of my
installs on the 1% off-chance that my backups are partially fouled for
some reason.
2) I used the .sql file that you recommended and wow - it's so much
easier than expect.
Once I had the right key-words (mysql .sql script) Google returned the
right pages:
4.5.1.4. Executing SQL Statements from a Text File
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/batch-commands.html
The problem I have now is variable substitution. But, that's another thread.
Thanks guys,
TT
