Hi,

I successfully installed mysql from fink
(fink install mysql). I can start the server manually
once the computer is up by issuing:
  /sw/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --log &

However I am having trouble starting the server at boot time
I tried
  # mysqld
  if [ -x /sw/bin/safe_mysqld ]; then 
    /sw/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --log & 
  fi
in /etc/rc...with no result

I guess I am still having some difficulties understanding
the BSD boot process. Where is the correct place to put code
such as the above lines?

Any help is appreciated.

By the way: The Debian GNU/Linux mysql-server package installs itself
with all the configurations done for starting the server at boot
time, wouldn't that be nice for fink, too?
