Hi, Would anyone explain me why the startup scripts check for command line arguments and the contents of /etc/my.cnf right after setting the env variables such as basedir, pid-file and so?
if the MySQL code and scripts are expected to be on a specific hardcoded location (yeah, right we could specify this at build time) why bother supporting those variables at all? shouldn't they run parse the command line and defaults file first before setting defaults?? btw, I am just courious. thanks, enrique. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
