You could potentially save that query in a file called query.txt for instance and then run it from the command line like so: mysql -D racktables_db < query.txt > result.txt That would output a result.txt file to the filesystem. Or you could email the report to ourself like this: mysql -D racktables_db < query.txt | mailx -s 'IP Address Report' email@xxxxxxxxxxx Once you've got that configured you could schedule that report by putting the whole command in cron.
