Note: near the end of the script, when starting the mysql daemon, the line
which looks like:
su - mysql -c "/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --bind-address=`hostname`"
>/dev/null 2>&1 &
should have a backslash, like:
su - mysql -c "/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --bind-address=`hostname`" \
>/dev/null 2>&1 &
Sorry about that.
