I'm confused... mysql.server IS the script that comes with the RedHat RPMs,
at least on my machine. Maybe there is some problem with yours. Here is the
one from my system that works fine if I run it as:
mysql.server start
or if you run mysqld_safe you are putting an ampersand after the command
mysqld_safe &
to send it to the background, right?
***mysql.server**
