First of all, is there some reason you are using <apply> instead of
<exec>?
Secondly, try:
<arg value="START"/>
<arg value="mysql"/>
instead of
<arg line="START mysql"/>

Note: Although it may work for you to specify arguments using
a simple arg-element and separate them by spaces it may fail if you switch
to a newer version of the JDK. JDK < 1.2 will pass these as separate
arguments to the program you are calling, JDK >= 1.2 will pass them as a
single argument and cause most calls to fail.
