we are trying to use mysqltuner to have a kind of vision of what could be the problems behind some issues on our Wordpress website but have have few problems when running it (mostly failed to execute / returne code: 256).
First we did:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl/master/mysqltuner.pl
and execute it with:
perl mysqltuner.pl
but this is what we get:
>> MySQLTuner 1.6.9 - Major Hayden <major@mhtx.net>
>> Bug reports, feature requests, and downloads at http://mysqltuner.com/
>> Run with '--help' for additional options and output filtering

(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you the
name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases it cannot
do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the undefined value
in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation
displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your
program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that "
. $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator,
even though there is no . in your program.
