Why start call getconfig and then configcheck ? configcheck call getconfig also checkconfig make a check on $datadir witch is never initialized.

Created attachment 53341 [details, diff] /etc/init.d/mysql fast patch (have to be changed) Very Very fast change Not clean
this init-script is crap at all. There're many more Bug in it! getconfig() { MY_NAME="(`basename $1`)" throws errors, because $1 is empty dir=`echo "${mysqld_cnf}" | sed -ne '/datadir/s|^--datadir=||p' | tail -n1` [..] export MY_NAME MY_CNF pid_file datadir 'datadir' is NEVER set anywhere, but 'dir'. and then: start() { getconfig checkconfig || return 1 but: checkconfig() { getconfig furthermore: start-stop-daemon: --start needs --exec or --startas Try `start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. [ !! ] that's BS at all! This init-script was never tested. It's just crap!
start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option `--defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf' Try `start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. [ !! ] the '--' must before the --defaults-file. I have to repeat myself: this init-script is a piece of BS. There's not one stupid, easy to fix, little Bug. This would be no problem at all. But this init-script has so many Bugs in it, I ask myself why it is in Portage?
sorry guys. I copied the wrong version into my overlay and commited that. your patch is totally off the mark as well. The correct version is in the tree now, so just copy it straight over your existing copy: cp /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-4.0.24-r1.rc6 /etc/init.d/mysql chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql A conf.d script is entirely optional, it's just MY_CNF written that way for later on when we go to supporting mysqld_multi in the init scripts.
