#!/bin/bash
### Database Informations
DBUSER='user'
DBPASS='pass'
DBHOST='x.x.x.x'
DBNAME='dbase'

user_name=`head -n1 $1 | tail -1` #first line -> Username
pass_word=`head -n2 $1 | tail -1 ` #second line -> Password

user_query=`mysql -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -D $DBNAME -h $DBHOST --skip-column-name -e "SELECT username FROM user WHERE ( (active = '1') AND (username = '$user_name') AND (password = ('$pass_word')) );" $DBNAME`

if [ "$user_query" == "$user_name" ]; then
exit 0
else
exit 1
fi

server connection is good but i guess the problem is on my sqlquery can't retrieve info and compare it from authentication purposes

user_query=`mysql -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASS -D $DBNAME -h $DBHOST --skip-column-name -e "SELECT username FROM user WHERE ( (active = '1') AND (username = '$user_name') AND (password = ('$pass_word')) );" $DBNAME`

can you help me?
