The usual link for mysql in Mandrake is S90mysql which should be a link to /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql -- so you'll do 'ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql S90mysql' from inside /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, /etc/rc.d/rc4.d, and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d without the quotes. Finally, you'll need to add two kill links (so that when it reboots or goes into runlevel 1, it'll correctly stop mysql), so you'll do 'ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql K90mysql' from inside /etc/rc.d/rc1.d and /etc/rc.d/rc6.d without the quotes. Needless to say, you'll have to be root to do so. Michael -- Michael Viron Registered Linux User #81978 Senior Systems & Administration Consultant Web Spinners, University of West Florida
