hello, after the upgrade i cant start the daemon by script :

/etc/init.d/mysql start
* ...
* working on 0
* Starting mysqld0 (/etc/mysql/my.cnf)
* MySQL NOT started (0) [ !! ]

if i run /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf

it starts okay..

whats the problem with gentoo script ?

mmh, the latest start script should be BASH 2.05 safe, if that's not the case , this _is_ actually a bug.

Please diff your start scripts with $PORTDIR/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-slot.rc6-r1

if there are _no_ differences drop me a note, possibly telling which bash version you where using.

Thanks,
Francesco
