Hi,

! is a metachar for bash so it will not work directly. please add ' ' in password, it will work.

nilnandan@desktop:~$ pt-mysql-summary --user=nilnandan --password=nil!_123
bash: !_123: event not found
nilnandan@desktop:~$

nilnandan@desktop:~$ pt-mysql-summary --user=nilnandan --password='nil!_123'
