Hello spinX,

LQ is a great and correct place to ask questions.

There are some helpful links to improve how you ask and help others to help you, in this link here.

If you wish to write a script, please understand that members here will help you with your script, but not write it for you.

If you have little or no knowledge of bash scripting, or other scripting you intend to use, then you should indicate this to forum members.

Forum members may wish to know what your system specifications are. They clearly will wish to know what version of Ubuntu you are running and whether it is server or workstation. They also will wish to know which sql software you are looking to install as well as the version. They also will wish to know if you have read any guides about installing this software on the target distribution you mention.

Please check the link to help you add more details to your question.

Best Regards.

Sorry, but this sounds very much like a homework/lab assignment. We are happy to HELP you if you're stuck, but posting a homework question and asking for the answers isn't going to get you much. Read the LQ Rules and the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. Because each of these is EASILY found with a brief Google search

1. "how do you install mysql on ubuntu?"
2. "how do you start mysql on ubuntu",
3. "how do you read the last ten lines of a log file on linux"
4. "how do you assign an ip address in linux"
5. "how to you schedule a script to run in linux"

after all of that what was wrote, and you've chewed on it a bit.

5 things, 5 steps.

if you do not know how to do this or any of them on the command line then you've already lost the battle. First figure out how to issue the commands on the command line, then go to the BaSH scripting and figure out how to put it into a file and have it do the steps for you. Either way you still have to know how to type out all of the the steps first before anything will get done.

Here we give tools to help, please read replies, there is useful information in each of them

1. https://is.gd/BUHaUc

who in this post has not helped?

given the very basics first, the steps needed to take to figure it out one step at a time.

if you do not know the basics, then how do you expect to get anything done?

And if you can't at least TRY to do your own work, don't ask us to. I handed you phrases you could have easily looked up, and found your answers, and you apparently can't even try that.

And if you think such a reply will get you any further help...good luck.

And you do realize that deleting your original post doesn't help, since it's quoted elsewhere here in this thread, right?

@spinX,

While I do understand frustration, there were some helpful answers starting off the thread. If you, or anyone, feels that a reply went too far, the correct thing to do is to use the Report button to ask that a moderator look at the information in the the post and evaluate it. Also the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page form is a way to contact site administrators and/or Jeremy to air any concerns more directly.

LQ allows the edit function so that members can correct and clarify. Yes, part of that allows one to erase. Performing this action is not helpful, and hopefully you can see that it doesn't necessarily have the impact of erasing your comments since they could have been quoted earlier by someone.

If you continue to use the LQ forums, please be aware of these guidelines.
