NAME
mysqld_safe - MySQL server startup script
SYNOPSIS
mysqld_safe options
DESCRIPTION
mysqld_safe is the recommended way to start a mysqld server
on Unix. mysqld_safe adds some safety features such as
restarting the server when an error occurs and logging
runtime information to an error log file. A description of
error logging is given later in this section.
mysqld_safe tries to start an executable named mysqld. To
override the default behavior and specify explicitly the
name of the server you want to run, specify a --mysqld or
--mysqld-version option to mysqld_safe. You can also use
--ledir to indicate the directory where mysqld_safe should
look for the server.
Many of the options to mysqld_safe are the same as the
options to mysqld. See Section 5.1.3, "Server Command
Options".
Options unknown to mysqld_safe are passed to mysqld 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, "Using Option Files".
mysqld_safe reads all options from the [mysqld], [server],
and [mysqld_safe] sections in option files. For example, if
you specify a [mysqld] section like this, mysqld_safe will
find and use the --log-error option:
[mysqld]
log-error=error.log
For backward compatibility, mysqld_safe also reads
[safe_mysqld] sections, although you should rename such
sections to [mysqld_safe] in MySQL 5.5 installations.
mysqld_safe supports the following options. It also reads
option files and supports the options for processing them
described at Section 4.2.3.4, "Command-Line Options that
Affect Option-File Handling".
o --help
Display a help message and exit.
o --basedir=path
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 1
MySQL Database System MYSQLD_SAFE(1)
The path to the MySQL installation directory.
o --core-file-size=size
The size of the core file that mysqld should be able to
create. The option value is passed to ulimit -c.
o --datadir=path
The path to the data directory.
o --defaults-extra-file=path
The name of an option file to be read in addition to the
usual option files. This must be the first option on the
command line if it is used. If the file does not exist
or is otherwise inaccessible, the server will exit with
an error.
o --defaults-file=file_name
The name of an option file to be read instead of the
usual option files. This must be the first option on the
command line if it is used.
o --ledir=path
If mysqld_safe cannot find the server, use this option
to indicate the path name to the directory where the
server is located.
o --log-error=file_name
Write the error log to the given file. See
Section 5.2.2, "The Error Log".
o --malloc-lib=[lib_name]
The name of the library to use for memory allocation
instead of the system malloc() library. Any library can
be used by specifying its path name, but there is a
shortcut form to enable use of the tcmalloc library that
is shipped with binary MySQL distributions for Linux in
MySQL 5.5.
The --malloc-lib option works by modifying the
LD_PRELOAD environment value to affect dynamic linking
to enable the loader to find the memory-allocation
library when mysqld runs:
o If the option is not given, or is given without a
value (--malloc-lib=), LD_PRELOAD is not modified
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 2
MySQL Database System MYSQLD_SAFE(1)
and no attempt is made to use tcmalloc.
o If the option is given as --malloc-lib=tcmalloc,
mysqld_safe looks for a tcmalloc library in /usr/lib
and then in the MySQL pkglibdir location (for
example, /usr/local/mysql/lib or whatever is
appropriate). If tmalloc is found, its path name is
added to the beginning of the LD_PRELOAD value for
mysqld. If tcmalloc is not found, mysqld_safe aborts
with an error.
o If the option is given as
--malloc-lib=/path/to/some/library, that full path
is added to the beginning of the LD_PRELOAD value.
If the full path points to a nonexistent or
unreadable file, mysqld_safe aborts with an error.
o For cases where mysqld_safe adds a path name to
LD_PRELOAD, it adds the path to the beginning of any
existing value the variable already has.
Linux users can use the libtcmalloc_minimal.so included
in binary packages by adding these lines to the my.cnf
file:
[mysqld_safe]
malloc-lib=tcmalloc
Those lines also suffice for users on any platform who
have installed a tcmalloc package in /usr/lib. To use a
specific tcmalloc library, specify its full path name.
Example:
[mysqld_safe]
malloc-lib=/opt/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so
o --mysqld=prog_name
The name of the server program (in the ledir directory)
that you want to start. This option is needed if you use
the MySQL binary distribution but have the data
directory outside of the binary distribution. If
mysqld_safe cannot find the server, use the --ledir
option to indicate the path name to the directory where
the server is located.
o --mysqld-version=suffix
This option is similar to the --mysqld option, but you
specify only the suffix for the server program name. The
basename is assumed to be mysqld. For example, if you
use --mysqld-version=debug, mysqld_safe starts the
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 3
MySQL Database System MYSQLD_SAFE(1)
mysqld-debug program in the ledir directory. If the
argument to --mysqld-version is empty, mysqld_safe uses
mysqld in the ledir directory.
o --nice=priority
Use the nice program to set the server's scheduling
priority to the given value.
o --no-defaults
Do not read any option files. This must be the first
option on the command line if it is used.
o --open-files-limit=count
The number of files that mysqld should be able to open.
The option value is passed to ulimit -n. Note that you
need to start mysqld_safe as root for this to work
properly!
o --pid-file=file_name
The path name of the process ID file.
o --plugin-dir=path
The path name of the plugin directory. This option was
added in MySQL 5.5.3.
o --port=port_num
The port number that the server should use when
listening for TCP/IP connections. The port number must
be 1024 or higher unless the server is started by the
root system user.
o --skip-kill-mysqld
Do not try to kill stray mysqld processes at startup.
This option works only on Linux.
o --socket=path
The Unix socket file that the server should use when
listening for local connections.
o --syslog, --skip-syslog
--syslog causes error messages to be sent to syslog on
systems that support the logger program. --skip-syslog
suppresses the use of syslog; messages are written to an
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 4
MySQL Database System MYSQLD_SAFE(1)
error log file.
When syslog is used, the daemon.err syslog
priority/facility is used for all log messages.
o --syslog-tag=tag
For logging to syslog, messages from mysqld_safe and
mysqld are written with a tag of mysqld_safe and mysqld,
respectively. To specify a suffix for the tag, use
--syslog-tag=tag, which modifies the tags to be
mysqld_safe-tag and mysqld-tag.
o --timezone=timezone
Set the TZ time zone environment variable to the given
option value. Consult your operating system
documentation for legal time zone specification formats.
o --user={user_name|user_id}
Run the mysqld server as the user having the name
user_name or the numeric user ID user_id. ("User" in
this context refers to a system login account, not a
MySQL user listed in the grant tables.)
If you execute mysqld_safe with the --defaults-file or
--defaults-extra-file option to name an option file, the
option must be the first one given on the command line or
the option file will not be used. For example, this command
will not use the named option file:
mysql> mysqld_safe --port=port_num --defaults-file=file_name
Instead, use the following command:
mysql> mysqld_safe --defaults-file=file_name --port=port_num
The mysqld_safe script is written so that it normally can
start a server that was installed from either a source or a
binary distribution of MySQL, even though these types of
distributions typically install the server in slightly
different locations. (See Section 2.1.5, "Installation
Layouts".) mysqld_safe expects one of the following
conditions to be true:
o The server and databases can be found relative to the
working directory (the directory from which mysqld_safe
is invoked). For binary distributions, mysqld_safe looks
under its working directory for bin and data
directories. For source distributions, it looks for
libexec and var directories. This condition should be
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 5
MySQL Database System MYSQLD_SAFE(1)
met if you execute mysqld_safe from your MySQL
installation directory (for example, /usr/local/mysql
for a binary distribution).
o If the server and databases cannot be found relative to
the working directory, mysqld_safe attempts to locate
them by absolute path names. Typical locations are
/usr/local/libexec and /usr/local/var. The actual
locations are determined from the values configured into
the distribution at the time it was built. They should
be correct if MySQL is installed in the location
specified at configuration time.
Because mysqld_safe tries to find the server and databases
relative to its own working directory, you can install a
binary distribution of MySQL anywhere, as long as you run
mysqld_safe from the MySQL installation directory:
shell> cd mysql_installation_directory
shell> bin/mysqld_safe &
If mysqld_safe fails, even when invoked from the MySQL
installation directory, you can specify the --ledir and
--datadir options to indicate the directories in which the
server and databases are located on your system.
Beginning with MySQL 5.5.21, mysqld_safe tries to use the
sleep and date system utilities to determine how many times
it has attempted to start this second, and--if these are
present and this is greater than 5 times--is forced to wait
1 full second before starting again. This is intended to
prevent excessive CPU usage in the event of repeated
failures. (Bug #11761530, Bug #54035)
When you use mysqld_safe to start mysqld, mysqld_safe
arranges for error (and notice) messages from itself and
from mysqld to go to the same destination.
There are several mysqld_safe options for controlling the
destination of these messages:
o --syslog: Write error messages to syslog on systems that
support the logger program.
o --skip-syslog: Do not write error messages to syslog.
Messages are written to the default error log file
(host_name.err in the data directory), or to a named
file if the --log-error option is given.
o --log-error=file_name: Write error messages to the named
error file.
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 6
MySQL Database System MYSQLD_SAFE(1)
If none of these options is given, the default is
--skip-syslog.
If --syslog and --log-error are both given, a warning is
issued and --log-error takes precedence.
When mysqld_safe writes a message, notices go to the logging
destination (syslog or the error log file) and stdout.
Errors go to the logging destination and stderr.
Normally, you should not edit the mysqld_safe script.
Instead, configure mysqld_safe by using command-line options
or options in the [mysqld_safe] section of a my.cnf option
file. In rare cases, it might be necessary to edit
mysqld_safe to get it to start the server properly. However,
if you do this, your modified version of mysqld_safe might
be overwritten if you upgrade MySQL in the future, so you
should make a copy of your edited version that you can
reinstall.
