Thanks for your reply!
One thing, though -- MariaDB is the fork of MySQL that I use, and it has a `--console` option that causes those messages to be written to stdout already. Perhaps MySQL has that option as well? That would be even simpler.
Mysqld has this option too, but it does not seem to work.
