This looks cool but I wonder how reliable it is? I can’t explain so go check it out and come back
I think it would be could to make a script so your own server would do this. It is tedious to save, upload, and then link to an image.

mysql -u USERNAME -p -S /var/run/mysql/5.0/mysqld.sock

And more generally if you try to run mysql on anyone’s command line and it gives you an error mentioning a socket, like this perhaps:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Try running this command to find out the correct socket:
ps -ef | grep mysql

It will return some junk like this below and you can see at the end there, it tells you where your socket is.
