Hmmm. Not sure about your installation, but somewhere along the line I'm
pretty sure MySql automatically put the startup script on my system.
In FreeBSD 4+ this should go in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
Be sure to chmod +x the file as well. (my file is called mysql-server.sh)
====start snippet====
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld ]; then
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql > /dev/null
& && echo -n ' mysqld'
fi
;;
stop)
/usr/bin/killall mysqld > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo -n '
mysqld'
;;
*)
echo ""
echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
echo ""
exit 64
;;
esac
=======end snippet
See if that works!
