Simple script to return the version of mysql server without logging in
The script initializes a tcp connection to the mysql server and waiting for a initial response which usually contains the version number. This is useful, if you don't have login credentials for a mysql instance but want to check for the version in use.
./check_mysql_server_version <host> <port>
This should return the version number.
