When I start mysql 3.23.38 on our Solaris 2.8 machine, with or without the /etc/my.cnf file read (i.e., I can move it out of the way or not), I get the following messages:
/etc/rc2.d/S99mysql: @HOSTNAME@: not found S99mysql is the script that starts up MySQL when I reboot the machine (I believe it points to a script in init.d). This is especially confusing because the script is set to run in the Bourne shell, and my limited knowledge of same doesn't know of a variable called @HOSTNAME@. There is a HOST, accessed, presumably, by "$host," but substituting that into the script doesn't appear to work, either. Ideas?
