5.1.4 mysql.server, A Server Startup Script for Run Directories

MySQL distributions on Unix include a script named mysql.server. It can be used on systems such as Linux and Solaris that use System V-style run directories to start and stop system services.

On Linux systems, the server RPM distribution installs mysql.server in `/etc/init.d' automatically under the name mysql.

If you install MySQL on Linux using another distribution format, or on a System V-style system, you can install the script manually by copying it to the `/etc/init.d' directory with the name mysql. Make sure the script is executable. (Use chmod +x mysql.)

The commands needed to activate the script depend on your operating system. On Linux, you can use chkconfig:

 
shell> chkconfig --add mysql

For other systems, consult your operating system documentation to see how to install startup scripts.
