    After changing my Mysql password and trying to upgrade from 2.2.17 to 2.2.19 I noticed the followiing errors:

    Code:
    sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
    sh: -c: line 0: `mysqldump -h localhost -u root -psecretwith()whichfails -c -t --add-drop-table --add-locks --all --quick --lock-tables ispconfig; > existing_db.sql'
    
    It appears Ispconfig's upgrade script fails to properly escape the Mysql password in the shell.

    Does your MySQL password contain special characters?

    Yes, it contains parentheses.
