Actually that is incorrect syntax...the following is the correct syntax
to ensure that mysqld is running at boot in the different run levels:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
as it is a daemon, you need to use 'mysqld' not mysql, and you also need
to pass to chkconfig the runlevels you desire the daemon to start in.
to start/stop/restart at anytime use the following:
/sbin/service mysqld {start|stop|restart}
