This is for MariaDB users only. I have been getting this error automysqlbackup: line 551: mysqlshow: command not found while using MariaDB. The fix is to replace “mysqlshow” with “mariadb-show” command in the script. I explained the solution in more detail on my blog https://blog.chadchenault.com/2025/11/30/automysqlbackup-line-551-mysqlshow-command-not-found/. I hope this helps other MariaDB users.

I have modified the script to work with MariaDB so that is does cause the "automysqlbackup: line 551: mysqlshow: command not found". I will probable throw errors with a MySQL database because I replaced the "mysqlshow" command for the MariaDB "mariadb-show" command. I explained it more detail on my blog https://blog.chadchenault.com/2025/11/30/automysqlbackup-line-551-mysqlshow-command-not-found/. Since MariaDB is more popular now, I would like the option to choose the type of database used, and...

Two options, which I have NOT tested or even verified, if the dependencies can be installed - I just know they exist and MIGHT possibly lead to a working environment: Cygwin - just search online for it, but you need at least some knowledge of what the script depends on and what a basic linux system consists of, to get it working - Windows 10 Linux subsystem - dunno how far along that is and what is available.

source expects a shell file with commands in it. Just create backup-before.sh with your command "php /var/www/log/backup.before.php" in it. The same with backup-after.sh ... And point CONFIG_prebackup="/path/to/backup-before.sh" in the right direction. It is probably a good idea to add a comment or two in the config file to make this more clear.

For anyone that runs across this in the future, the solution is to not put a command directly into these configuration options like the example in this question. automysqlbackup uses "source" to run whatever you put here. so if it won't run with source, you can't run it. Here's the code from automysqlbackup that executes whatever you put there: # -> preback commands if [[ "${CONFIG_prebackup}" ]]; then echo "======================================================================" echo "Prebackup command...
