Ever get frustrated about the output from 'drush sqlq'?

Add '--extra="-t"' to your 'drush sqlq' command, and get a nicely-formatted table. ("--extra" allows you to include any options you would pass to 'mysql').

(Run 'man mysql' to see more options to pass to '--extra'.)

Note that this error only occurs on Leland servers, since the retirement of pubsw.

Take a look at your ~/.cshrc file. In it, you will see a few lines like the following:

I've written a shell script for backing up a Drupal site installed in a Stanford AFS group or department account. (This version doesn't work anywhere else.)

It does a dump of the Drupal database and creates a compressed archive of the entire Drupal directory from which it is run. Both the directory archive and .sql file are written to a DrupalBackups directory under the top level directory of the department or group account from which it is run. (If the DrupalBackups directory doesn't already exist, it is created.)
