In MySQL 5\&.1\&.20 (only), the default error logging behavior with

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

is to write errors to

syslog

on systems that support the

\fBlogger\fR

program\&. This differs from the default behavior of writing an error log file for other versions\&.

.PP

\fBIn 5\&.1\&.20, logging to \fR\fBsyslog\fR\fB may fail to operate correctly in some cases; if so, use \fR\fB\fB\-\-skip\-syslog\fR\fR\fB to use the default log file or \fR\fB\fB\-\-log\-error=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR\fR\fB to specify a log file name explicitly\&.\fR

.sp .5v

.PP

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

tries to start an executable named

\fBmysqld\fR\&. To override the default behavior and specify explicitly the name of the server you want to run, specify a

\fB\-\-mysqld\fR

\fB\-\-mysqld\-version\fR

option to

\fBmysqld_safe\fR\&. You can also use

\fB\-\-ledir\fR

to indicate the directory where

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

should look for the server\&.

.PP

Many of the options to

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

are the same as the options to

\fBmysqld\fR\&. See

Section\ \&5.1.2, \(lqServer Command Options\(rq\&.

.PP

Options unknown to

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

are passed to

\fBmysqld\fR

if they are specified on the command line, but ignored if they are specified in the

[mysqld_safe]

group of an option file\&. See

Section\ \&4.2.3.3, \(lqUsing Option Files\(rq\&.

.PP

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

reads all options from the

[mysqld],

[server], and

[mysqld_safe]

sections in option files\&. For example, if you specify a

[mysqld]

section like this,

\fBmysqld_safe\fR

will find and use the

100

\fB\-\-log\-error\fR

101

option:
