mysqldump unknown option no beep

Question

I\'m running MySQL 5.5 on Windows, attempting a mysqldump:

 \"C:\\WebServer\\MySQL Server 5.5\\bin\\mysqldump.exe\" -u user -ppassword database > \"C:\\ba         


        

Answer 1

Something in an environment variable or my.cnf file?

For what it's worth, when I put the no-beep option (a valid option for the mysql client, but not for mysqldump) in the [client] section of my config file, I get

mysqldump: unknown option '--no-beep'

(As mentioned in naitsirch's answer, it should be moved from the [client] section to the [mysql] section so it doesn't try to use it for other client programs such as mysqldump.)
