ejhildreth: @chillman2 Now I just need to start tweeting condescending things to go with it! :-)
script
In a previous post, I walked the user through how to setup a cron job to automatically create a nightly mySQL backup (see http://ejhildreth.com/content/setting-cron-mysql-backups). This is great but has one huge flaw: The database backups keep piling up unless I manually remove them. Since scripting makes the computer work for me, I fired up VIM and created some new shell scripts.
