That's less than ideal for my setup. I'd like to use a standard, similarly structured script for MySQL and Postgres with no explicit authentication information coded in the script itself, as the relevent passwords will vary from host to host. I'll try a wrapper script I think, and if that still doesn't work then I'll source the information from the ~/.my.cnf.
