pt-mysql-summary is difficult to run non-interactively

Registered by Michael Coburn

SUPERSEDED: Duplicate of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/percona-toolkit/+spec/pt-mysql-summary-non-interactive

In some cases it would be helpful to run pt-mysql-summary without being prompted for input, for example when dumping the results to a file. The specific message:

Would you like to mysqldump -d the schema and analyze it? y/n

It would be nice if there was a flag to pass that indicated whether to dump schemas or not (in my use case, to disable dumping of schemas).

A workaround exists to pass --databases=mysql and then you can run the tool non-interactively.
