I have a 'normal user' mysql setup on a server not my own - I have no 
root access and they won't add mysql to the server's startup scripts. 

I need a way to have the daemon start up when the server is rebooted. 
 I do have access to cron jobs, so I thought I might build a script 
that fires every five minutes or so, looks to see if mysql is already 
running, and if not tries to fire it up.  (It runs under my userid)

Has anyone else already done this?  Can I borrow a copy of your 
script?  I can do a fairly simple one if need be, but if someone else 
has already done this it would save me some time, and yours is 
probably better than mine would be anyway!!

I suppose it might be worthwhile to also use this as a watchdog and 
send me email if it fails to start.

Thanks in advance
