           Summary: MySQL init script fails to find itsself
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: mmarek@xxxxxxxxxx

The MySQL init script fails to find itsself in some cases:

root@cboltz:/etc/init.d> ./mysql start
pwd: /usr
/mysql: line 233: ./mysql: No such file or directory
Starting service MySQL                                 done

(It works when called as "rcmysql status", because rcmysql is in $PATH.)

The relevant code section in /etc/init.d/mysql is:

    # Safeguard (relative paths, core dumps..)
    cd $basedir

    case "$1" in
        start)
        # exit gracefully, if we are already running
        echo "pwd: `pwd`"   ### added for debugging
        $0 status >/dev/null && echo -n "Starting service MySQL " && \
        rc_status -v && rc_exit

As you can see in the output above, the script cd's to /usr (the default value
of $basedir) before trying to execute itsself with "$0 status".
(Un?)fortunately ./mysql is no longer working in /usr .

Please find a better (and working ;-) way to find out the status, or call "cd"
at a later point.

Note: This affects at least 11.0 and 11.1 (I did not test other versions.)
