Hello
I am trying to turn off the query log in mysql on redhat linux. It generates 
huge log files
(in /var/lib/mysql/hostname.log) that I dont need, and impacts performance.

safe_mysqld was run with --log, and it seems like I want to turn that off 
but I cant find
any script or config file where the --log was specified, perhaps it was 
compiled in?
I only have a binary distribution of mysql. Is there some way to override 
the --log?

I have looked at section 4.9 of the mysql doc, and
/etc/my.cnf (see below) and these scripts
/etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d/K12mysqld
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld
/usr/share/mysql/mysql.server

Does anyone know which of these scripts is really the one that starts 
safe_mysql?
(note that the err-log setting in my.cnf refers to an error log (empty on my 
machine) not
the query log that I am trying to get rid of.

Please reply directly and to the list
-thanks Tom
