Is this what you are talking about? Otherwise possibly you want to kick off a script from one server that actually runs on the other server. I am not sure I am following. In that case possibly you want to use SSH (to connect to other server) and Public Key Authentication (so password does not have to be entered) so you can run a script remotely (possibly using sudo for the account used to make the connection)? > I am running MySql 3.23, so there may be some limitations on the > utilities I have available for MySQL.

I only recently upgraded to MySQL 5.0.45. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
