 5.1.4 The `mysql.server' Server Startup Script
 ----------------------------------------------
 
 MySQL distributions on Unix include a script named `mysql.server'.  It
 can be used on systems such as Linux and Solaris that use System V-style
 run directories to start and stop system services. It is also used by
 the Mac OS X Startup Item for MySQL.
 
 `mysql.server' can be found in the `support-files' directory under your
 MySQL installation directory or in a MySQL source tree.
 
 If you use the Linux server RPM package (`MySQL-server-VERSION.rpm'),
 the `mysql.server' script will have been installed in the `/etc/init.d'
 directory with the name `mysql'. You need not install it manually. See
  Linux-RPM for more information on the Linux RPM packages.
 
 Some vendors provide RPM packages that install a startup script under a
 different name such as `mysqld'.
 
 If you install MySQL from a source distribution or using a binary
 distribution format that does not install `mysql.server' automatically,
 you can install it manually. Instructions are provided in 
 Automatic start.
 
 `mysql.server' reads options from the `[mysql.server]' and `[mysqld]'
 sections of option files.  (For backward compatibility, it also reads
 `[mysql_server]' sections, although you should rename such sections to
 `[mysql.server]' when you begin using MySQL 4.0 or later.)
