[Linux-disciples] write to file from shell script

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

That should work.

But here are some ideas for troubleshooting.

Do you have a path issue? Are you running the script just from your home 
dir? What if you leave out the redirect, does the output from gondor 
sqldump go to screen? Try hard-coding the target filename with a full 
path (i.e., > /home/jforrest/test.sql).
