The setup command, at the command prompt type "setup" this will bring up a configuration tool (Im running RH7.2), one of the choices is System Services, under that you can adjust services to start/stop automatically upon boot. This is done after an RPM install or installation upon OS install. This was how I automated the starting and stopping of the MYSQL service.
As for the safe_mysqld concern, I was just wondering if there were any caveats to running mysql under safe_mysqld? Is this the normal process name that mysql runs under? I was expecting mysqld or mysql.server to be the process found when running the command "ps -ef". I guess Im just reading into the safe_mysql naming convention. From what Im interpretting your statements below as is this: safe_mysql is the normal process that mysql runs under and there is no security issues with this process. Thanks for the help, hopefully above clears up what I was trying to say. ~dK -----Original Message----- From: Paul DuBois [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 5:38 PM To: David Kramer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Odd Question on automatic start of Mysql upon boot At 10:24 -0700 7/26/02, David Kramer wrote: >I automated the MYSQL start up process using the setup command.

I suppose it depends on what "the setup command" does... If it installs mysql.server, what you observe wouldn't be unusual, because mysql.server starts safe_mysqld, which starts mysqld. > Im completely lost here, and I feel running >Safe_mysql is a major security issue?
