mysqldump cronjob on register365 account

board_stiff

Hi,

I have a register365 enterprise unix account on which I am running a website which is integrated with a mysql database.
For several weeks now I have been trying to write a cronjob based on the mysqldump command to export a spectific table in the database to a csv or tab delimited file...without any success.

I have mastered the command to make a .sql file but unfortunately not the csv or tab version.

Has anyone else here succeeded in doing what I have failed to do?

Any help would be appreciated. I have spent hours on various web sites which have given me "close but no cigar" type of commands.
On of the issues I am having is that I think i need to include "-h sql.hosting365.ie" somewhere in the command to identify the location of the db.

Have you contacted Register365 support?
Although I didn't find any info in their knowledge base I would expect they could help you very quickly.
