MYSQL.SERVER(1) MariaDB Database System MYSQL.SERVER(1) NAME mysql.server - MariaDB server startup script SYNOPSIS mysql {start|stop} DESCRIPTION MariaDB 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 MariaDB. mysql.server can be found in the support-files directory under your MariaDB installation directory or in a MariaDB source distribution. If you use the Linux server RPM package (MySQL-server-VERSION.rpm), the mysql.server script will be installed in the /etc/init.d directory with the name mysql. You need not install it manually. Some vendors provide RPM packages that install a startup script under a different name such as mariadbd. If you install MariaDB from a source distribution or using a binary distri- bution format that does not install mysql.server automatically, you can in- stall it manually. mysql.server reads options from the [mysql.server] and [mariadbd] sections of option files. For backward compatibility, it also reads [mysql_server] sections, although you should rename such sections to [mysql.server]&. mysql.server supports the following options. * --basedir=path The path to the MariaDB installation directory. * --datadir=path The path to the MariaDB data directory. * --pid-file=file_name The path name of the file in which the server should write its process ID. If not provided, the default, "host_name.pid" is used. * --service-startup-timeout=file_name How long in seconds to wait for confirmation of server startup. If the server does not start within this time, mysql.server exits with an er- ror. The default value is 900. A value of 0 means not to wait at all for startup. Negative values mean to wait forever (no timeout). * --use-mariadbd_safe Use mariadbd_safe to start the server. This is the default. * --use-manager Use Instance Manager to start the server. * --user=user_name The login user name to use for running mariadbd.
