exec='/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql'
"mysql5.xml" 62 lines, 1608 characters
[root at x4100-1:/var/tmp]svccfg validate mysql5.xml
[root at x4100-1:/var/tmp]
That worked fine...
exec='/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &'
"mysql5.xml" 62 lines, 1613 characters
[root at x4100-1:/var/tmp]svccfg validate mysql5.xml
svccfg: couldn't parse document
[root at x4100-1:/var/tmp]
Didn't work...
*sigh*
