Hi,
unfortunately the MySQL 3.23.54 release includes a buglet in the
"mysqld_safe" startup script that can lead to a "syntax error" message on
startup.
This does only apply to the Unix binaries, the Windows packages are not
affected by this - they do not use this script at all.
We will provide updated binary packages labelled as "3.23.54a" which will
fix this error ASAP. In the meanwhile, you can also correct this typo
manually by following the instructions below.
Please change into the directory where MySQL has been installed into (e.g.
/usr/local/mysql) and open the file "bin/safe_mysqld" with a text editor.
Now look for the following text at line 162:
[SNIP]
if $NOHUP_NICENESS -gt 0
then
$NOHUP_NICENESS="nice --$NOHUP_NICENESS nohup"
[SNIP]
This needs to be changed to:
[SNIP]
if test $NOHUP_NICENESS -gt 0
then
NOHUP_NICENESS="nice --$NOHUP_NICENESS nohup"
[SNIP]
In other words, please add the word "test" to the line beginning with "if"
and remove the dollar sign in front of "NOHUP_NICENESS" in the last line
here.
Alternatively, simply apply the following patch to safe_mysqld:

We apologize for this mistake and for any inconveniences this may have
caused you.
Bye,
LenZ
