When I do this, then do a "show databases;" in either new instance of mysql (both are open at the same time, in separate consoles), I get the databases in the last version of mysqld that I specified.
Aha. Light bulb :-)
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.
I'll try that, in case config options can trump a command line.
They don't, but it's what you're *not* specifying here -- the two processes are sharing the default "/tmp/mysql.sock" socket, I'll wager. So the last daemon started is listening on it...
I think you'll find creating two config files will make it a *lot* easier to get this going :-)
