StatPack for MySQL

 usage: ./statpack.py [list of arguments]

 Non-interactive mode (aggregate txt files containing SHOW STATUS snapshots):

   -f --files           List of statistics files to aggregate (--files=stat1.txt[, stat2.txt..])
                        Argument must be first within list of arguments, on it's own

 Interactive mode (connect to running MySQL server for SHOW STATUS snapshots):

   -h --host                    Host for MySQL server to connect to in interactive mode
   -P --port                    Port the MySQL server is running on
   -S --socket                  UNIX domain socket to use (instead of -h and -P)
   -u --user                    User to connect to the MySQL server with
   -p --password                Password for the user
   -d --defaults-file           Defaults file to read options from (reads [client] group by default)
   -i --interval                Length of each collection interval
   -c --interval-count          Count of intervals to collect and aggregate
   -s --status-file             File to output raw SHOW STATUS data to

 All modes:

   -r --report-file             File to output generated report(s) to

Input files can contain many snapshots of SHOW STATUS within the same file, and you can also pass in any number of files
in chronological order (or a mixture of the two). StatPack also understands status files with both batch and non-batch outputs. 
That is to say it currently can parse files of both of the following formats:

    [markleith@medusa:~/Development] $ mysql -u root -e "SHOW STATUS"                        
    +---------------------------------+----------+
    | Variable_name                     | Value    |
    +---------------------------------+----------+
    | Aborted_clients                   | 16       |
    | Aborted_connects                  | 0        |
    | Binlog_cache_disk_use             | 0        |
    ...
     
    [markleith@medusa:~/Development] $ mysql -u root -B -e "SHOW STATUS"
    Variable_name   Value
    Aborted_clients 16
    Aborted_connects        0
    Binlog_cache_disk_use   0
    ...

Currently it does not support the \G output. 

Interactive mode allows you to connect to a running MySQL to gather statistics and generate reports. By default Statpack will 
connect to localhost:3306 with the root user, and no password. It will generate one report with a 60 second interval. The report 
will be sent to stdout (the terminal). 

However, you can change all of these with the options shown above. You can also dump the entire output of SHOW GLOBAL STATUS
that is collected to an output file with the --status-file option as well, should you want to use these for further 
examination later. 

If you want to output the reports to a file then you can use the --report-file option. You should specify the full path to 
the file, otherwise the working directory is used.
