Starting of MySQL

[Bill Brigden]

Dear all,

After putting things together in the skel on our virtual server, I thought
it may be useful for others the addon i wrote for /etc/rc.vsd:

# Start MySQL server
if [ "${mysql_enable}" = "YES" ]; then
 if [ ! -d /var/lib/mysql ] ; then
        echo 'Initializing MySQL database'
        /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/mysql mysql
        su - mysql -c "/usr/bin/mysql_install_db"
        echo 'Database Initialised'
 fi
        if [ -d "/var/lib/mysql" ]; then echo -n 'starting mysql server: '
        su - mysql -c "/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --bind-address=`hostname`"
>/dev/null 2>&1 &
        echo 'mysqld'
        fi
fi

This Checks to see if the database has been setup, and if not, does it on
startup of the VS.

I hope this helps someone,
