 5.1.1 Overview of the Server-Side Scripts and Utilities
 -------------------------------------------------------
 
 All MySQL programs take many different options. However, every MySQL
 program provides a `--help' option that you can use to get a
 description of the program's options. For example, try `mysqld --help'.
 
 You can override default options for all standard programs by specifying
 options on the command line or in an option file.   Program

 The following list briefly describes the MySQL server and server-related
 programs:
 
 `mysqld'
      The SQL daemon (that is, the MySQL server). To use client
      programs, this program must be running, because clients gain
      access to databases by connecting to the server.  
      Configuring MySQL.
 
 `mysqld-max'
      A version of the server that includes additional features.  
      `mysqld-max' mysqld-max.
 
 `mysqld_safe'
      A server startup script.  `mysqld_safe' attempts to start
      `mysqld-max' if it exists, and `mysqld' otherwise.  
      `mysqld_safe' mysqld_safe.
 
 `mysql.server'
      A server startup script.  This script is used on systems that use
      run directories containing scripts that start system services for
      particular run levels. It invokes `mysqld_safe' to start the MySQL
      server.   `mysql.server' mysql.server.
 
 `mysqld_multi'
      A server startup script that can start or stop multiple servers
      installed on the system.   `mysqld_multi' mysqld_multi.
 
 `mysql_install_db'
      This script creates the MySQL grant tables with default
      privileges. It is usually executed only once, when first
      installing MySQL on a system.
 
 `mysql_fix_privilege_tables'
      This script is used after an upgrade install operation, to update
      the grant tables with any changes that have been made in newer
      versions of MySQL.
 
 
 There are several other programs that also are run on the server host:
 
 `myisamchk'
      A utility to describe, check, optimize, and repair `MyISAM' tables.
      `myisamchk' is described in  Table maintenance.
 
 `make_binary_distribution'
      This program makes a binary release of a compiled MySQL. This
      could be sent by FTP to `/pub/mysql/upload/' on `ftp.mysql.com'
      for the convenience of other MySQL users.
 
 `mysqlbug'
      The MySQL bug reporting script.  It can be used to send a bug
      report to the MySQL mailing list. (You can also visit
      `http://bugs.mysql.com/' to file a bug report online.)
