Will do. Thanks.

Where is this documented? I missed it. Is this relevant to 4.6 also? I find a problem,
for example this line:
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --log=/var/log/mysql.log > /dev/null && echo
-n ' mysqld'
On a 4.6 when I try the change you suggest, it complains about the ";", as in
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --log=/var/log/mysql.log > /dev/null &; echo
-n ' mysqld'
That is wrong isn't it? Moreso, when I change the & &&, then I cannot do
./mysql-server.sh start,
because then it doesn't detach from the tty.....

All the scripts in there failed to start - ALL of them.
I have tpop3d.sh, exim.sh, proftppd.sh, apache.sh, drwebd.sh ..
I mean I have to start all of them manually :-(
Please allow me to bother you with this by attaching the scripts.
I believe there is something else that has made them fail.
If only I could zero in on it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking your time to see me through this. I am most grateful.
