Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Load config file at commandline Post 302927220 by babyPen1985 on Monday 1st of December 2014 03:13:04 PM

Hello Sea,

Thanks for the quick turn around, that's one way of doing it which I am aware of. But I need something that I can keep loading dynamically just before executing the command. Password was just an example I provided, I have other variables that I need to load in other scenarios. I need something that I need to do at command line.
like:
Code:
. ./.myconfigFile
mysql -u $user -password $password -db $database

do we have something like that in linux, to load configuration at command line dynamically, apart from the one way I have posted in this reply.

       uname] [-v|--verbose] [-V|--version] [-w|--wait]
