I'd suggest installing the MySQL RPMs from the MySQL.com website. They will setup all of the init.d scripts to handle startup/shutdown of the service.
Download all the RPMs to a directory on your server, then as root type, rpm -Uvh MySQL*.rpm Then you can stop/start it like this: service mysql (stop|start), and it will also be started and stopped automatically on boot/shutdown.

I always want the SQL server daemon running, so how can I automate the startup? Also, isn't there a way to safely stop the daemon automatically on system shutdown? I have referred to the manual, but it is not specific to RH Linux 7.3 and I'm a newbie. Thanks very much for your help!
