Awesome! Where should/will that be checked in into the Drizzle tree? Also, this is currently possible with mysqld --verbose --help. For example:
> cat foo.cnf [mysqld] bad_mysql_option > mysqld --defaults-file=foo.cnf --verbose --help 090429 10:34:59 [ERROR] mysqld: unknown option '--bad_mysql_option' So there's no need for a separate tool in either case....the end of the output of mysqld when the option file is good will show all the variables and their values. -Sheeri On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 9:47 PM, Arjen Lentz <ar...@openquery.com> wrote: > Hi Jeremy, > > On 29/04/2009, at 4:13 AM, Jeremy Zawodny wrote: >> >> The other related thing that I've occasionally wished for, aside from >> "remote restart", is the equivalent of apache's "apachectl configtest" to >> verify that my new config parses before trying to bounce a server.
