Dear MySQL People:

     I am having a difficult time trying to run mysqld during system 
startup on both

Mac OS X (workstation) and Mac OS X Server.

I have tried several combinations based on the Mysql.com documentation
and the Apple Developer Connection article on startup items:

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/BootingLogin/Customization_Techniques.html

Currently I have  a directory in

/Library/StartupItems/

named  MySQLd

that contains a script named  MySQLd
and a file StartupItems.plist

In the script I have tried running   safe_mysqld as follows

cd /sw/bin/
/sw/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql

I have also tried

/sw/share/mysql/mysql.server  start

As well as other combinations.  None would start mysqld

(Although I can run safe_mysqld as root manually after startup)

The best debugging info I could get was by starting in verbose mode 
(command V)
and quickly reading the messages as they flitted by on the screen.
I saw something like

/Library/StartupItems/MySQL:    permission denied

    Can anyone help me get this to work on Mac OS X?

Thank You,

Jimi Oleksiak
