Don't be afraid to play with the script.  There's nothing really fancy in there. Out of interest, what’s the danger of running this script from a packetfence server against a remote db server? Is it likely to cause an issue? The issue is that it would have to copy the database over the network and dump the copy on the server you are running it from. While that is doable, it is not really recommended. You might end up saturating the link between those two servers during the dump.
