Description Mathias Gug 2005-01-21 13:52:25 UTC

I've hacked the init script so that the same script can be used to start different mysql instances.

The main configuration file for mysql is set in /etc/conf.d/ and then used by the script to start/stop mysqld_safe with the right configuration file.

Thanks to that, one can have more than one server configuration file in /etc/mysql/ and use symlink in init.d to manage the different instances.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
