Copy the script to the correct location and correct the permissions.
cp mysqldumpall /usr/sbin
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/mysqldumpall
chown 0:0 /usr/sbin/mysqldumpall
Create the needed dirs and correct their paths:
mkdir /etc/adm /var/backups
chmod 700 /etc/adm /var/backups
chown 0:0 /etc/adm /var/backups
Copy the configfile to the correct location and edit it.
cp examples/mysqldumpall.cfg.weekly /etc/adm/mysqldumpall.cfg
vi /etc/adm/mysqldumpall.cfg
Update the crontab:
# on e.g. redhat:
cd /etc/cron.daily
ln -s /usr/sbin/mysqldumpall .
# dark places where they have no /etc/cron.daily
crontab -l >crontab.txt
echo "0 1 * * * /usr/sbin/mysqldumpall >/dev/null 2>&1" >>crontab.txt
crontab crontab.txt
or run the install script (as root):
sh install.sh
Which does most of the things except the crontab part.
