I am a real neophyte in this world, but am working hard to learn. I would like to use this script in a shared host environment (linux server). With some help from my host's trouble desk I have the script executing using a cron job.
It created a log file in the correct location, that it named mysql4.hostexcellence.com-%N.log with no entries in it and nothing in any other log file that I have access to. The name is the access address to the mysql server where the databases that I want to backup are located. I don't know what the %N is, although it probably makes sense to you others.
Any suggestions about what I might be doing incorrectly?
Thanks,
Janet

OK, I don't know what it was doing, but the solution is one I got from another post in this forum. The path to the backup folder is an absolute one, not a relative one. Once I figured out what the absolute path was on my shared host (it took a bit of trail-and-error), it solved this problem.
