but it fails: WARNING: Found two instances of my.cnf - /opt/csw/mysql5/my.cnf and /var/opt/csw/mysql5/my.cnf IGNORING /var/opt/csw/mysql5/my.cnf If I can't write to /opt this is a problem and if I can then I'm wasting my time in /var/opt anyway. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0008667) phil (reporter) - 2011-01-04 23:31 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4646#c8667 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah sorry. I was reading the wrong file. my "patch" was for mysqld_safe, not our init file. I think we would be best to focus on patching mysqld_safe, and keeping the init file as minimal as possible. I say that, because mysqld_safe is quite complex. Usually, for maintanance purposes, its a good idea to minimise complexity whereever possible. Having large complexity in TWO areas of the chain for startup, I would suggest is counterproductive for us. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0008668) maciej (developer) - 2011-01-05 01:00 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4646#c8668 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem with patching mysqld_safe is that it changes the documented way MySQL startup works. Imagine someone trying to debug a problem that is related to these settings. They will probably read MySQL documentation[1] and examine our startup script. If we patch mysqld_safe, they will find no indication that we're changing the default behavior. They might spend a lot of time debugging, until they discover that we've modified mysqld_safe. Don't you think it might be a problem?
