</span>Not sure from the top of my head what the syntax is but you have a<br>
semicolon (;) after database-kasp. Either you made a typo or need to<br>
quote/escape some things in the commandline.<br>
<br>
The whole "host=localhost --to-username kaspuser --to-password kasp"<br>
did not end up as input to the script.<br>
<br>
root and localhost are assumed when not given. Therefore your second<br>
attempt did work.<br>
