Question
I currently use the following but it ALWAYS prompts me to manually type the password. Is there any way to pass it in on the command line when launching the executable?
mysqladmin processlist -u root -p
Solution
Just found out the answer....
mysqladmin processlist -u root -pYOURPASSWORDHERE
No space between your password and the -p
OTHER TIPS
Try:
--password=PasswordTextHere
This should work: mysql -uroot -p'password'
If you're trying to automate mysql solution, you can use password from variable:
mysql_pass=$(sudo grep -oP "temporary password is generated for root@localhost: \K(.*)" /var/log/mysqld.log)
mysql -uroot -p"$mysql_pass" < somescript.sql
