The startup script provided with Fedora linux uses the mysqladmin ping command to
verify that the server is up after the safe_mysqld command has been issued; however,
once I changed the password for the root account, this no longer works: it sits there
and tries this command 10 times on one second intervals and finally declares failure
for the startup procedure (even though the server is actually up and as happy as can
be). I'm sure I could remedy the problem by encoding the mysql root password in the
/etc/init.d/mysqld file, but this seems sort of stupid. Should I just nix the ping
glop? Or perhaps creating a ping account with no password but no privledges would do
the trick?
