\fBmysqld_safe\fR
is the recommended way to start a
\fBmysqld\fR
server on Unix and NetWare\&.
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
adds some safety features such as restarting the server when an error occurs and logging runtime information to an error log file\&. Descriptions of error logging and NetWare\-specific behaviors are given later in this section\&.

.PP
In MySQL 5\&.1\&.20 (only), the default error logging behavior with
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
is to write errors to
syslog
on systems that support the
\fBlogger\fR
program\&. This differs from the default behavior of writing an error log file for other versions\&.
.PP
\fBIn 5\&.1\&.20, logging to \fR\fBsyslog\fR\fB may fail to operate correctly in some cases; if so, use \fR\fB\fB\-\-skip\-syslog\fR\fR\fB to use the default log file or \fR\fB\fB\-\-log\-error=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR\fR\fB to specify a log file name explicitly\&.\fR
.sp .5v
.RE
.PP
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
tries to start an executable named
\fBmysqld\fR\&. To override the default behavior and specify explicitly the name of the server you want to run, specify a
\fB\-\-mysqld\fR
or
\fB\-\-mysqld\-version\fR
option to
\fBmysqld_safe\fR\&. You can also use
\fB\-\-ledir\fR
to indicate the directory where
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
should look for the server\&.
.PP
Many of the options to
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
are the same as the options to
\fBmysqld\fR\&. See
Section\ \&5.1.3, \(lqServer Command Options\(rq\&.
.PP
Options unknown to
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
are passed to
\fBmysqld\fR
if they are specified on the command line, but ignored if they are specified in the
[mysqld_safe]
group of an option file\&. See
Section\ \&4.2.3.3, \(lqUsing Option Files\(rq\&.
.PP
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
reads all options from the
[mysqld],
[server], and
[mysqld_safe]
sections in option files\&. For example, if you specify a
[mysqld]
section like this,
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
will find and use the
\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
option:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
[mysqld]
log\-error=error\&.log
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
For backward compatibility,
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
also reads
[safe_mysqld]
sections, although you should rename such sections to
[mysqld_safe]
in MySQL 5\&.1 installations\&.
.PP
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
supports the options in the following list\&. It also reads option files and supports the options for processing them described at
Section\ \&4.2.3.4, \(lqCommand-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling\(rq\&.

.PP
The
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
script is written so that it normally can start a server that was installed from either a source or a binary distribution of MySQL, even though these types of distributions typically install the server in slightly different locations\&. (See
Section\ \&2.1.5, \(lqInstallation Layouts\(rq\&.)
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
expects one of the following conditions to be true:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
The server and databases can be found relative to the working directory (the directory from which
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
is invoked)\&. For binary distributions,
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
looks under its working directory for
bin
and
data
directories\&. For source distributions, it looks for
libexec
and
var
directories\&. This condition should be met if you execute
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
from your MySQL installation directory (for example,
/usr/local/mysql
for a binary distribution)\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
If the server and databases cannot be found relative to the working directory,
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
attempts to locate them by absolute path names\&. Typical locations are
/usr/local/libexec
and
/usr/local/var\&. The actual locations are determined from the values configured into the distribution at the time it was built\&. They should be correct if MySQL is installed in the location specified at configuration time\&.
.RE
.PP
Because
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
tries to find the server and databases relative to its own working directory, you can install a binary distribution of MySQL anywhere, as long as you run
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
from the MySQL installation directory:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBcd \fR\fB\fImysql_installation_directory\fR\fR
shell> \fBbin/mysqld_safe &\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
If
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
fails, even when invoked from the MySQL installation directory, you can specify the
\fB\-\-ledir\fR
and
\fB\-\-datadir\fR
options to indicate the directories in which the server and databases are located on your system\&.
.PP
When you use
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
to start
\fBmysqld\fR,
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
arranges for error (and notice) messages from itself and from
\fBmysqld\fR
to go to the same destination\&.
.PP
As of MySQL 5\&.1\&.20, there are several
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
options for controlling the destination of these messages:

In MySQL 5\&.1\&.20
\fIonly\fR, the default is
\fB\-\-syslog\fR\&. This differs from logging behavior for other versions of MySQL, for which the default is to write messages to the default error log file\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.PP
If
\fB\-\-syslog\fR
and
\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
are both given, a warning is issued and
\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
takes precedence\&.
.PP
When
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
writes a message, notices go to the logging destination (syslog
or the error log file) and
stdout\&. Errors go to the logging destination and
stderr\&.
.PP
Before MySQL 5\&.1\&.20, error logging is controlled only with the
\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
option\&. If it is given, messages go to the named error file\&. Otherwise, messages go to the default error file\&.
.PP
Normally, you should not edit the
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
script\&. Instead, configure
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
by using command\-line options or options in the
[mysqld_safe]
section of a
my\&.cnf
option file\&. In rare cases, it might be necessary to edit
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
to get it to start the server properly\&. However, if you do this, your modified version of
\fBmysqld_safe\fR
might be overwritten if you upgrade MySQL in the future, so you should make a copy of your edited version that you can reinstall\&.
