Starting something from rc.local or from a script you can use su(1)'s "-c" to specify the login class. For instance... # su -c mysql root -c '/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe>/dev/null' You will still want to tweak up a my.cnf to use the new limits. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/darrin/ |
