I've tried: /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld And it just sits there after it starts. And I've tried: /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld & I can go back to the shell after that, but it seems to just be running as a background job, still tied to me. How can I start it by itself and just let it keep running by itself (as if i had rebooted and the system just started it)? - Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
