Also this line should use either backticks or $() command substitution
instead:

For example:

[andrew@savoy ~]$ MYSQL='which mysql'
[andrew@savoy ~]$ echo $MYSQL
which mysql
[andrew@savoy ~]$ MYSQL=$(which mysql)
[andrew@savoy ~]$ echo $MYSQL
/usr/bin/mysql
[andrew@savoy ~]$ MYSQL=`which mysql`
[andrew@savoy ~]$ echo $MYSQL
/usr/bin/mysql

Cheers!
