How do you run a single query through mysql from the command line?

Question

I\'m looking to be able to run a single query on a remote server in a scripted task.

For example, intuitively, I would imagine it would go something like:

Answer 1

mysql -uroot -p -hslavedb.mydomain.com mydb_production -e "select * from users;"

From the usage printout:

-e, --execute=name
Execute command and quit. (Disables --force and history file)
