But your version only starts the second version, right?
That's correct, but I first needed to check whether supporting multiple mysql servers on 1 system would be an option for openSUSE. Appearantly it is :)
Well, I'm not opposed to the idea per se :)
What would be more reasonable would be an /etc/sysconfig/mysql, where one could set which server(s) they want to start. Could you try that?
What about just checking the /etc/my.cnf file with e.g.: # grep "^\[mysqld[0-9]*\]" /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] [mysqld2]
Would this work?
If you limit it to numbers, maybe. If you want to support more fancy names, then you have to make sure you don't start the [mysqldump] "server" ;). I still think that an explicit listing of configuration(s) you want to use would be useful, it would also allow you to temporarily disable some. And important: you also need to make mysqld_safe and the mysqld server aware of which section of the config it has to use! Also, currently the rc script exctracts options from [mysqld] and (optionally) [mysql_server] and merges them, what to do if there's [mysqld], [mysqld2] and [mysql_server]? As it's getting more complicated, I'd suggest to ask on the mysql packagers list (http://lists.mysql.com/packagers) what other packagers and mysql developers think about this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
