+# 7.A Start-up Manage Script for $my_progname
+#
+#   In the recent MySQL distributions you can find a file called
+#   mysqld_multi.server.sh. It is a wrapper for $my_progname. This can
+#   be used to start and stop multiple servers during boot and shutdown.
+#
+#   You can place the file in /etc/init.d/mysqld_multi.server.sh and
+#   make the needed symbolic links to it from various run levels
+#   (as per Linux/Unix standard). You may even replace the
+#   /etc/init.d/mysql.server script with it.
+#
+#   Before using, you must create a my.cnf file either in /etc/my.cnf
+#   or /root/.my.cnf and add the [mysqld_multi] and [mysqld#] groups.
+#
+#   The script can be found from support-files/mysqld_multi.server.sh
+#   in MySQL distribution. (Verify the script before using)
