You will need mysqldumpthe path that bash uses to search for commands. UN * X shell, for example bash, as well as windows cmd, use an environment variable PATHto control this.

To see the current path, enter it in bash:

$ echo $PATH

MySQL, c:\Program Files\MySql, , mysqldump, c:\Program Files\MySql\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\. . MySQL - , bin .
