Permissions for a MySQL user which will monitor replication status? I'd like to use a script to monitor the replication status of a MySQL database like in this bash script: https://gist.github.com/wesdeboer/1791632

I'd like to create a user which will only be used to query the status of the replication. So basically this user would just need to run the command:

"SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G"


What is the minimum set of permissions I need to grant a user to allow this? 

(Is this even something which can be GRANTed?
According to the MySQL Documentation on SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G

Either SUPER or REPLICATION CLIENT should do it. I would go with the minimum:

GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* to user@host;
