[Linux-disciples] write to file from shell script

[Jamie Forrest]

Sorry there's a typo below. It should be:

#!/bin/bash

dumpfile=`date +%F-%H%M%S`_dump.sql
cd /Users/jforrest/Projects/django-cnsltme/cnsltme/
gondor sqldump primary > /tmp/$dumpfile
cd /tmp
tar -czf $dumpfile.tar.gz $dumpfile
mv $dumpfile.tar.gz /Users/jforrest/Dropbox/Pirate/db_backup/
rm $dumpfile
