Comment on MySQL backup as separate sql files with rotation by deadelvis

Thanks for this.
It’s working fine except that (even though I am not using FTP) it throws this error:

./mysqlbackup.sh: line 121: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
./mysqlbackup.sh: line 121: ` ftp -nv <

Any ideas how to fix?
Thx

Thanks, very helpful.

Line 119 should be:
ftp -nv <

Great work.

Hi, great script! Very helpful and quick to setup.

On line 119 there’s a space which should not be there though:
ftp -nv <

Thanks for posting this.

I tried your script but foudn it would not work on my host as they do not allow direct access to mysqldump.

So I tried this:

and it worked great for me

its free and sends reports via email when the backup zip file has been ftp’d to a remote server.

In any case i only want to make daily backup and keep only the last one. i’m not interested into archiving.

Might have been due to the space between the here tag: "< <" I have updated it to: "<<"

Comment on Boxee brings iPlayer to Apple TV by Seb

The screenshots where taken from my Mac, but following the iPlayer guide from the Boxee forum you can also install it on your Apple TV. The only different is that you need to SFTP to your Apple TV using something like WinSCP or Cyberduck connect to your Apple TV and browse to: /Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/Resources/Boxee/plugins/video/ and then follow the rest of the guide.

Those images aren’t for AppleTV? I’ve recently put Boxee on my ATV, do you have a step by step install that’s a bit more descriptive?

Makes me laugh how you aren’t allowed to take photos of the site but Google has detailed aerial photos of it…!
