mysql sp password,在bash脚本的MySQL密码输入

I have a bash script that needs to perform a couple actions in MySQL. So far I have something like this:

#!/bin/sh

read -p "Enter your MySQL username: " $sqluname

read -sp "Enter your MySQL password (ENTER for none): " $sqlpasswd

/usr/bin/mysql -u $sqluname -p $sqlpasswd << eof

*some SQL stuff*

eof

This works well until it's used with a MySQL username that has a blank password. The user hits ENTER at my password prompt, but then they receive another prompt to "Enter your password" again from MySQL.

How can I avoid this second password prompt and make the script deal with both blank and non-blank passwords?

解决方案

Check if the password is blank or not, and if it is, then omit the -p switch altogether.

read -p "Enter your MySQL username: " $sqluname

read -sp "Enter your MySQL password (ENTER for none): " $sqlpasswd

if [ -n "$sqlpasswd" ]; then

/usr/bin/mysql -u $sqluname -p $sqlpasswd << eof

else

/usr/bin/mysql -u $sqluname << eof

fi

Later edit to avoid a whole if-then-else block:

command="/usr/bin/mysql -u $sqluname"

[ -n "$sqlpasswd" ] && command="$command -p$sqlpasswd"

eval $command
