This PR modifies the behavior of script
delete_imaging_upload.pl
in the following way: it removes option-extra_mysqlcnf
and adds an option-mysql-defaults-file
that can be used to specify a file containing the password to use whenmysqldump
is invoked with a non-admin user (the one specified in theprod
file). The big difference here is that the file specified with that new option will be the only one read to get this password. This avoids potential conflicts when there already is a~/.my.cnf
option file with a different password in it (e.g. to run amysql
client with an admin user). See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/option-files.html.
