It means bash can't find the file called "mysql". If it could, it would show you a path to the file, like
$ whereis mysql mysql: /usr/bin/mysql If your server has locate or slocate, try them instead. (This assumes they have an up to date locate database. If not, you may have to run "updatedb", if you have the proper permissions.)
