5. Set up mysql to not need a password to do a dump.

In order for mysql to work, the user you're running the script as must be able to mysqldump the requested databases without entering a password. This can be accomplished through by creating a .my.cnf file in the user's home directory putting in it

[mysqldump]
user=mysqluser
password=secret
