No, it cannot be set there. /lib/svc/method/* files are not the place for user-editable configuration. Remove lines 40-41. Looking at the docs, MySQL support a 'password' directive in the mysql config files under '[client]' section (with the file suitably protected). Sounds like the alternative to document for now. > >mysql_restart() sleeps until the process disappears.

I just noticed that not only will it sleep forever if the server doesn't shutdown for whatever reason, more generally, it'll sleep forever if the 'pgrep mysqld' matches anything.. such as someone else's process also called mysqld. -- Jyri J.
