NAME
6       mysql.server - MySQL server startup script
7

SYNOPSIS
9       mysql {start|stop}
10

DESCRIPTION
12       MySQL distributions on Unix include a script named mysql.server. It can
13       be used on systems such as Linux and Solaris that use System V-style
14       run directories to start and stop system services. It is also used by
15       the Mac OS X Startup Item for MySQL.
16
17       mysql.server can be found in the support-files directory under your
18       MySQL installation directory or in a MySQL source distribution.
19
20       If you use the Linux server RPM package (MySQL-server-VERSION.rpm), the
21       mysql.server script will be installed in the /etc/init.d directory with
22       the name mysql. You need not install it manually. See Section 4.9,
23       “Installing MySQL from RPM Packages on Linux”, for more information on
24       the Linux RPM packages.
25
26       Some vendors provide RPM packages that install a startup script under a
27       different name such as mysqld.
28
29       If you install MySQL from a source distribution or using a binary
30       distribution format that does not install mysql.server automatically,
31       you can install it manually. Instructions are provided in
32       Section 4.15.2.2, “Starting and Stopping MySQL Automatically”.
33
34       mysql.server reads options from the [mysql.server] and [mysqld]
35       sections of option files. For backward compatibility, it also reads
36       [mysql_server] sections, although you should rename such sections to
37       [mysql.server] when using MySQL 5.0.
38
39       mysql.server understands the following options:
40
41       ·  --basedir=path
42
43          The path to the MySQL installation directory.
44
45       ·  --datadir=path
46
47          The path to the MySQL data directory.
48
49       ·  --pid-file=file_name
50
51          The pathname of the file in which the server should write its
52          process ID.
53
54       ·  --service-startup-timeout=file_name
55
56          How long in seconds to wait for confirmation of server startup. If
57          the server does not start within this time, mysql.server exits with
58          an error. The default value is 900. A value of 0 means not to wait
59          at all for startup. Negative values mean to wait forever (no
60          timeout). This option was added in MySQL 5.0.40. Before that, a
61          value of 900 is always used.
62
63       ·  --use-mysqld_safe
64
65          Use mysqld_safe to start the server. This is the default. This
66          option was added in MySQL 5.0.4.
67
68       ·  --use-manager
69
70          Use Instance Manager to start the server. This option was added in
71          MySQL 5.0.4.
72
73       ·  --user=user_name
74
75          The login username to use for running mysqld. This option was added
76          in MySQL 5.0.4.
