Yet Another Question : Can I store this file ?

[MaestroFX1]

Hey!

I've created a Linux executable for backing-up/updating mysql databases in conjunction with php/mysqldump.
It is just about 360kb in size.
And, the total size including phps/sh is 450 odd kbs.
I don't intend to use cron at all or may be once in three months for automatic backing up.
But, I do plan (at least hope) to update it twice in a month manually.

What it does?
Compresses databases, deletes obsolete data both in mysql db and in filesystem and writes log/email whether it has been successful or not.
Decompress databases, updates mysql data based on last date of modification, deletes old records and then echoes about the outcome.


So, can I store that file in my account?


I'm doing this just because phpmyadmin just ain't working for me.

Thanks

No, you won't be able to run it anyway. How about using the backup module in cPanel?

Well, updating it is more important for me than backing up!

Anyway,would that be in violation of TOS if I save it and may be try it ?

[MaestroFX1]

No replies ?
Please I'm losing my patience !
It's becoming harder and harder to resist the temptation to click the upload button and try it.

I guess it would be allowed then. Note, however, that you can't actually run linux executables - you'll have to write it in PHP

Hey Alex thanks for your patience!
Really appreciate it man!

See this program is "a standalone x86 C-written Linux executable".
I've tested both the full and the extremely trimmed-down version on my centos 5/rhel6 x64 and its working there.
I’m cutting down "some more" features and rewriting it in asm, to further reduce its footprint/requirement.

Basically, a php scirpt call its functions to do an update/backup "smartly" and saves the outcome/result as a log.
Again, I have no intention whatsoever to use cron.

I’ve even removed its “email notification” feature to avoid “false-positive” as a spamming-bot.

I’ve here since 2008(though on-off) and I really----------really don't want a permanent suspension.

“I guess it would be allowed then.”

Is it then an affirmative “YES”?
