voytek eymont - 2017-12-31

long time user of this script on my 'old' server, with v 2.51

NOW, setting a new server with Centos 7 and rh-mariadb102-mariadb

set server, tec, etc, copied my old files, tried running, got succession of errors, AND MariaDB stopped working

after a brief panic, restarted MariaDB, then, searched for an uptodate version, found it here, installed ver 3, tried, same problems:

it starts OK as so:

# automysqlbackup /etc/automysqlbackup/myserver.conf
Parsed config file "/etc/automysqlbackup/automysqlbackup.conf"

# Checking for permissions to write to folders:
base folder /backup ... exists ... ok.

checking directory "/backup/db/latest" ... exists.
checking directory "/backup/db/tmp" ... exists.
checking directory "/backup/db/fullschema" ... exists.
checking directory "/backup/db/status" ... exists.

BUT, later on, get this
