Thanks, but even copying that command line does not work:
su - mysql -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
And mysql itself reports
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
But 'service mysql start' works okay. I'll have to figure out how it does
that. Or just temporarily edit mysqld_safe.
