problem :

using backticks in bash for mysql statements. e.g. :

mysql -u username -h host -e “GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON `somedatabase`.* TO ‘someuser’@'somehost’;” -p<password with no space after parameter>

would get an error :

./scriptname: line 5: somedatabase: command not found

solution :

escape () the backticks ” ` ” surround “somedatabase”

mysql -u username -h host -e “GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON `somedatabase`.* TO ‘someuser’@'somehost’;” -p<password with no space after parameter>

Have an external hard disk with hfsplus or hfs+ partition on it? This is how you can mount it under linux (specifically, Debian) :

in os x :

• disable journaling in the partition/external hdd in disk utility or use run the command “diskutil disableJournal /dev/disk1s1″ in terminal.

in linux :

• apt-get install hfs*
• mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/extdisk

Voila !!!
