Setting auto start at boot option
From Foochal
To start mysqld automatically at boot time, type the following command
chkconfig mysqld on
To confirm type the following:
find /etc/rc.d | grep mysql
You should see the following:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K36mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K36mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S64mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S64mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S64mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S64mysqld /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K36mysqld
K mean kill at run level 0, 1 and 6. S means start at run level 2, 3, 4 and 5.
