     Can anyone help me write a shell script for my unix box?  What I am
     trying to do is have a script connect to a mysql server and verify
     that it is up.  If it is not up then send and email to me.  Sound
     pretty simple, but I don't know how to even get started.

     Any pointers or help is appreciated.
