If you want to control the server process, you'll need to start the
server process with those options, this mysqld, and the command line

Thanks for the link, I am going through it.
For your purposes though, I would absolutely parse and use the config
file instead though because operating directly on the server daemon will
likely come into conflict with a lot of distribution specific shell
scripts (/etc/init.d/mysql for example) - and any configuration that is
done will go away on next restart of the server.
The MySQL config file is very standardized and would not be hard to deal
with.
I also first thought of using the config file, but I have time
constraints, that's the reason I asked about any command line option.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I hate to discourage anyone, but
if you're worried about dealing successfully with the config file, I'd
practice up on my text processing before jumping into server admin
items. I only say this because in the long run I really believe it will
be much easier for you, and a better strategy based on what little I
understand of your goals. Don't know what language you're using, but
there's lots of libs available for perl and python to do this easily.
Not at all, I don't mind criticism if its constructive. I am using
Python for making the app. I have experience with text processing but
since I can't call myself a champ in this field, so thought of the other
way.
Thanks for the help though.
