How do startup scripts work? I added: mysql_enable=˛YES˛ But I donšt think it is working. I had rebooted my system the other day and my mail server stopped working (postfix reading from mysql tables) and I tried looking at my running processes: ps ax |grep sql and nothing was returned. So I guessed mysql was not running. I tried: mysql start and I got a socket error. I usually get this error when SQL was not started properly. So I ran /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start And low and behold it was all working. So how do startup scripts work. Did I add the wrong value to my /etc/rc.conf file? Or did I miss something somewhere? Does the entry in /etc/rc.conf correlate to the startup script. Should I change my rc.conf file to read mysql-server_enable=˛YES˛ Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your time.home | help
