--- Begin Message ---Package: automysqlbackup Version: 2.6+debian-2 Severity: minor The default configuration example of DBNAMES=`mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf --execute="SHOW DATABASES" | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v ^Database$ | grep -v ^mysql$ | tr \\\r\\\n ,\ ` can be done tidier in a single text processing fork as e.g. DBNAMES=$(mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf --execute="SHOW DATABASES" | awk 'BEGIN{ORS=" "}!/^(Database|mysql)$/') which also leaves line ending peculiarities to a more agnostic awk handling. grep-like matching is built in to awk. Since the mysql output is not fancy formatted when redirected, the `^$` pattern matches correctly (and the earlier `awk '{print $1}'` fork actually does nothing at all from what I can tell). `print` is default action, so just setting output record separator to blank space is equivalent to the `tr` command. This is still POSIX compatible (testable with `-c`). Somewhat similarly, the other example DBNAMES=`find /var/lib/mysql -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | cut -d'/' -f5 | grep -v ^mysql\$ | tr \\\r\\\n ,\ ` can be done as e.g. DBNAMES=$(ls -d /var/lib/mysql/*/ | awk -F/ 'BEGIN{ORS=" "}$5!="mysql"{print $5}') or in a single command assuming GNU find (with the `-printf` option) DBNAMES=$(find /var/lib/mysql -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name 'mysql' -printf '%f ') The `\\\r` -> `,` translation actually also does nothing on my system in either case. Ridiculously low-priority of course, but since I'm procrastinating... :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages automysqlbackup depends on: ii mysql-client 5.5.23-2 ii mysql-client-5.5 [mysql-client] 5.5.23-2 Versions of packages automysqlbackup recommends: ii mutt 1.5.21-5+b1 automysqlbackup suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/automysqlbackup changed [not included] -- no debconf information
