I see that, but even when I bypass them, I can run 2 instances of mysqld, it shows up in the task list as 2 separate tasks, but they both use the data directory specified in the last instance I run.
Uh, that doesn't really make sense -- a *running* instance isn't going to switch data directories because another process started up :-)
Sounds like something in the way you're invoking this is causing the first instance to be restarted, and then it's using the second set of parameters.
My preference to do this is to create a complete new config file, say /etc/alt.cnf, and use that to configure the second process. That way you can be relatively sure there aren't any overlapping resources.
