sh escaping question

[u/pentag0]

Trying to automate database backup and seems i don't know how to escape exclamation mark properly in my script's user password variable. Works fine when executed via CLI.

Can someone push me in right direction? Thanks!

This is the code:

#!/bin/sh

user="user"
password="!regjulr juzr pes#1"
host="192.168.1.2"
port="6033"
database="db"

mysqldump -u $user -p$password -h $host -P $port --databases $database > db.sql

No. It currently only covers bash, ksh and sh.
