A google search brought me to this page:

http://macsingularity.org/2003/11/03/path-variable-in-the-bash-shell/

BTW google is your friend. Module maintainers would appreciate if you used it.

That link doesn't say anything about setting this up for the module, you should try reading the google links for relevancy prior to posting them. FYI - google is not always your friend, it does however, provide tons of useless and outdated material, which is why I don't rely much on it. I do try to have a general practice of searching before asking and if the answer is not present, I'll stop and ask the question. It doesn't bother me in the least that Module maintainers appreciate if i use it or not, that's for me to decide not them :)

Detailed instructions should always be included with any module if it is to be given any real consideration for use.

Sorry I think you the anonymous issue poster were the brunt of my bad day.

But the link I gave is really how to set your system's $PATH variable on any unix based system (OSX, Linux, BSD etc.). And I think this link shows the path to include for mysqldump (I don't have a mac so I can't confirm):

http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-server/221780-webmin-mysql-configurati...

If I ever get back to this module, I think I should add a field on the settings page so you can just input the path if the system can't find it.
