The script you found does not start MySQL. It just ensures that the
operating system can find the MySQL libraries.
The command you mention above starts MySQL; and can be added to the
"Start" section of the script. I've never put a period after the
ampersand; so I don't know what that will do. (I switched from MySQL
to PostgreSQL over 5 years ago.)
The reason it would be good to find the script that is installed by the
port is that it probably has a "stop" section for shutting down MySQL
cleanly and removing the pid file when the operating system is being
shutdown.
Good luck,
Andrew Gould
