Good idea! I didn't think it was possible to put arbitrary mysql commands like SHOW MASTER STATUS into a script. I had assumed I was limited to the shell-level utilities like mysqlimport and mysqldump. How exactly do I put the interactive commands into a script? I'm on Linux and I can use PHP, Perl, shell, or whatever. Thanks!
