I'm installing MySQLto a Corel /Debian platform, following
directions in the book Beginning PHP4.  Successfully
did ./configure, make, make install, and mysql_install_db
as described on page 387.  The book says I'll now need to
start and stop the Mysql server using two sample
scripts, to wit:

            [sample startmysqld script]

#! /bin/bash
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld &

           [sample stopmysqld script]

#!/bin/bash
kill 'cat /usr/var/$HOSTNAME.pid'

Looks easy enough except that I don't have a clue where
these scripts are supposed to reside on my system.  And/or
whether I'm supposed to execute these manually from
a console prompt or have them run automatically at
boot and shutdown.

Thanks in advance for your help.
