In Apache web server, the command used to start/stop the web server also
has an option called "configtest". One can type "apache configtest" and it
will tell you if the configuration file has a valid syntax. This is to
save you from the situation where you modified the configuration file,
then stop and start the server, but then realize that the configuration
file is broken, so you can't start the server again until you fix it (bad
in production environments!!).
Does MySQL have a similar utility? (Suggestion: Perhaps
support-files/mysql.server would benefit from the addition of a
"configtest" switch. A "restart" switch that just does "stop" and then
"start" would be nice too. Also "reload" to make the MySQL server reload
the configuration file without restarting, if this is possible.)
