Description archibald haddock 2009-12-31 16:27:15 UTC

With /bin/sh -> /bin/zsh /etc/init.d/mysql start does not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-db/mysql-init-scripts-1.2
2. ln -s /bin/zsh /bin/sh
3. /etc/init.d/mysql start

Actual Results:  
# /etc/init.d/mysql start 
* Caching service dependencies ... 
/etc/init.d/mysqlmanager:122: parse error near `()' [ ok ] 
start:5: bad substitution 
* ERROR: mysql failed to start 

Expected Results:  
Running well with zsh.

This also happens when using dash as /bin/sh:
# /etc/init.d/mysql status
/etc/init.d/mysql: 9: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Seems like you shouldn't use "function name() {..." but just "name() {..." when defining functions.

Comment 2 Paolo Pedroni 2010-02-19 14:08:25 UTC

I have the same problem as in Comment #1, I have dash as sh and I can't start mysql anymore.

Please fix it, seen as the fix looks simple.
