OIC. I wouldn't have thought this was a huge issue, but if it is, you can
either use the YaST runlevel editor (which is quite a hassle compared with a
single button) or create a script that checks whether mysqld is running, then
starts it if it's not running or stops it if it is. However, what that script
should be, I can't tell you off the top of my head - but there are other here
with more bash knowledge than I. It shouldn't be hard, though!
