Simple startup script

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi,

I wish to create a simple startup script for mysql but all the tutorials I’ve looked at say to add a line to the rc.local file. There is no such file in my 11.0 installation.

What would be the easiest way to create this (and others) startup script?

Thanks.

Do you not have /etc/init.d/mysql, which is the init script for mysql?

Hi,

Thanks for replying. Yes I have that file, how do I start the service on boot? I don’t really know how to initialize services at startup.

Thanks.

The GUI way is to do it from YaST, system services or something like that.

The CLI way is to use chkconfig. E.g. chkconfig --set mysql on
