set mysql password with host parameter
hi, linux gurus...
i'm trying to write a script in ksh called ResetPass that allows a user to change mysql passwords. the script accepts user, password and host like this: ResetPass <user> <password> <host>. here's the code:
*****************************************************
mysql -BCNnqs --disable-pager -u system -pmanager << EOJ
use mysql;
set @user = '${1-.}';
set @pass = '${2-.}';
set @host = '${3-.}';
update user set password=password(@pass) where user=@user and host=@host;
flush privileges;
quit
EOJ
*****************************************************
when i only use this bit...
update user set password=password(@pass) where user=@user;
... it works. but when i add the part, "and host=@host", it no longer does. there's something clearly wrong with my syntax but i'm not sure what. the mysql manual itself, says to use this form:
*****************************************************
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpass')
WHERE User='bob' AND Host='%.loc.gov';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
*****************************************************
if anyone can see what i'm doing wrong, i would appreciate your advice. thanks!
