An example usage of egmakedb from a script:

  if ret=\`egmakedb user databasename\` ; then

    eval "\$ret"

    echo DBHOST=$
    echo DBNAME=$
    echo DBOWNER=$
    echo DBUSER=$
    echo DBPASS=$

  else

    echo "Database creation failed"

  fi

Another example, replicating the behaviour of the old egmakedbs script:

  # Make 5 db's for user dave
  echo "username | password | database" >> /home/dave/db.info.txt
  for i in `seq 1 5` ; do
    db=`printf dave_%02d $i`
    if ret=`egmakedb dave $db` ; then
      eval "$ret"
      echo "$DBUSER | $DBPASS | $DBNAME" >> /home/dave/db.info.txt
    fi
  done
