+.SH "NAME"
+mysql.server \- MySQL server startup script
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBmysql\ {start|stop}\fR\ 'u
+\fBmysql {start|stop}\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+MySQL distributions on Unix include a script named
+\fBmysql\&.server\fR\&. 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
+support\-files
+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
+/etc/init\&.d
+directory with the name
+mysql\&. You need not install it manually\&. See
+Section\ \&2.6.1, \(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\ \&2.13.1.2, \(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
+supports the following options\&.
