It can be used on systems such as Linux and Solaris that use System V\-style run directories to start and stop system services. It is also used by the Mac OS X Startup Item for MySQL. +.PP +\fBmysql.server\fR +can be found in the +\fIsupport\-files\fR +directory under your MySQL installation directory or in a MySQL source distribution. +.PP +If you use the Linux server RPM package (MySQL\-server\-\fIVERSION\fR.rpm), the +\fBmysql.server\fR +script will be installed in the +\fI/etc/init.d\fR +directory with the name +\fImysql\fR. You need not install it manually. See +Section\ 2.4, \(lqInstalling MySQL from RPM Packages on Linux\(rq, for more information on the Linux RPM packages. +.PP +Some vendors provide RPM packages that install a startup script under a different name such as +\fBmysqld\fR. +.PP +If you install MySQL from a source distribution or using a binary distribution format that does not install +\fBmysql.server\fR +automatically, you can install it manually. Instructions are provided in +Section\ 2.11.2.2, \(lqStarting and Stopping MySQL Automatically\(rq. +.PP +\fBmysql.server\fR +reads options from the +[mysql.server] +and +[mysqld] +sections of option files. For backward compatibility, it also reads +[mysql_server] +sections, although you should rename such sections to +[mysql.server] +when using MySQL 5.1. +.PP +\fBmysql.server\fR +understands the following options: +.TP 3n +\(bu +\fB\-\-basedir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR +.sp +The path to the MySQL installation directory. +.TP 3n +\(bu +\fB\-\-datadir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR +.sp +The path to the MySQL data directory. +.TP 3n +\(bu +\fB\-\-pid\-file=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR +.sp +The path name of the file in which the server should write its process ID. +.TP 3n +\(bu +\fB\-\-service\-startup\-timeout=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR +.sp +How long in seconds to wait for confirmation of server startup. If the server does not start within this time, +\fBmysql.server\fR +exits with an error. The default value is 900. A value of 0 means not to wait at all for startup. Negative values mean to wait forever (no timeout). This option was added in MySQL 5.1.17. Before that, a value of 900 is always used. +.TP 3n +\(bu +\fB\-\-use\-mysqld_safe\fR +.sp +Use +\fBmysqld_safe\fR +to start the server.
