Here's a small script to use for automaticly starting the mysqld demaon. Cut and Past it into a file and call it mysqld then save it in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. Upon reboot you should see that you mysql server is up and running ( use ps -A as root and look for the mysqld pid's). As for using mysqld start to start the server manualy won't work use safe_mysqld & .
