Hi!

Please do not meddle with scripts directly. Instead, you should use
/etc/my.cnf file to set options. 

e.g. to solve the above problem, make the following entries in
/etc/my.cnf file:

[client]
socket=......


Instead of .... set a full path name to your socket file.

BTW, what do you use MySQL for in Philips , Sofia ??
