Currently I have a mysqldump script to backup my mysql database, the command is as below:

/opt/novell/mysql/bin/mysqldump --add-drop-table -u root -p[password] -h [hostname] mydb > /home/john/mydb.sql

I need to create a script without hardcoding the password, any idea how to achieve this?

FYI, I will need to put the script into crontab to do scheduling.

No one can help?
