I notice that I see mysql failing to stop on reboot of my machine, however I believe it's because it already was stopped at an earlier runlevel:
[root@daevid rc3.d]# locate mysql | grep "/etc/rc.d/" /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K12mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K12mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K12mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S78mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/K12mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S78mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K12mysqld So I decided I'd go through and remove all of these (mebbe they were legacy or something) and then just re-install the new RPM's with the idea that they would set things up properly. After that, I only have: [root@daevid rc3.d]# find /etc/ -name *mysql* /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K90mysql /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K90mysql [root@daevid rc3.d]# ll /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K90mysql lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 5 12:15 /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K90mysql -> ../init.d/mysql [root@daevid rc3.d]# ll /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4365 Oct 16 09:52 /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql How come there are no SNNmysql entries to START the database? Where should they be (which rc.d directory), and at what NN number? Shouldn't the RPM do that for me automatically? How do these rcX.d directories work anyways? If I'm running my server to go to init level 3 (no X-windows), does it go through rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d and rc3.d processing ALL the things in each dir or does it just jump to rc3.d and skip the others? And why is there an rc6.d? I thought 5 was the highest? [root@daevid rc3.d]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql usage: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start|stop And furthermore, how come the options are only to start|stop? Why no 'restart' like it used to have? What happened to the VERY NICE version that looks like all the other services that startup and stop in RedHat, with the "Starting mySQL [ OK ]" look to it? Does the mySQL-max rpm hose that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
