Changing The Exit Message in MySQL Client
Sheeri Kritzer Cabral sent out a tweet yesterday wishing she could change the default MySQL exit text from “Bye” to “kthxbai!”. I figured that it was something that could be quickly done using a pager, but that turned out not to work because it is written after the pager would have been called. So I started digging around the source and found the following line in client/mysql.cc (line 1233):
put_info(sig ? "Aborted" : "Bye", INFO_RESULT);
and changed it to:
put_info(sig ? "Aborted" : "kthxbai!", INFO_RESULT);
So, Sheeri, this patch is for you:)
