To make matters worse, the MySQL database is running on a none default port. Since bscan doesn't have an option to set the port number I am in a bit of a bind. Any ideas?

Excerpts from Win Htin's message of Sun Nov 06 15:50:13 -0500 2011: To make matters worse, the MySQL database is running on a none default port. Since bscan doesn't have an option to set the port number I am in a bit of a bind. Any ideas? Make yourself a quick tunnel with ssh or use nc (netcat) to either proxy a unix socket at the standard path to the non-standard port or create the effect of a tunnel. The ssh route is likely the easiest... Something like: ssh -L 3306:$dbhost:$weirdport Alter to taste. Depending on circumstance, nc might be a good option though.

Hi folks, Thanks for the various suggestions. I found setting the variables export MYSQL_HOST=database_hostname export MYSQL_TCP_PORT=port_number export MYSQL_UNIX_PORT=port_number before running the bscan command did the trick. Now, have to see if my bscan will work.

From what I see in my bacula director config on a Debian box, database dump is performed by a job explicitly specified in that config file and requires explicit scheduling and all that stuff.
