Apologies for sending what may well be a "duh" problem, but I've run out of web- and documention-based resources...
System: I'm running MySQL 3.23.47 on OS X 10.1.2. Symptoms: When I try to run safe_mysqld with --skip-networking (or with the option set in a my.cnf file), everything starts up fine (log entry below), but the moment mysqld proclaims itself ready for connections, something inspires the daemon to perform a normal shutdown. The docs for --skip-networking say it doesn't work with pthreads, so that was my first guess, except that then I found http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/a/Mac_OS_X_Public_Beta.html which seems to imply that OS X (not OS X Server) doesn't use pthreads. Am I just wrong? Or is there something else I'm missing? >From data/localhost.err: 020320 01:39:51 mysqld started 020320 1:39:52 InnoDB: Started /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: ready for connections 020320 1:39:52 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Normal shutdown 020320 1:39:52 InnoDB: Starting shutdown... 020320 1:40:02 InnoDB: Shutdown completed 020320 1:40:02 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 020320 01:40:03 mysqld ended (It happens whether or not InnoDB is running; this was just the easier-to-find log entry.)
