Somehow, I've managed to either lose the root MySQL password or type it incorrectly. Either way, I can't use MySQL until I reset the password. I've tried the mysql_safe init file way, but MySQL bombed (wouldn't start). That might mean the package itself is buggered, but I know mysqld starts fine.

Regardless, the other method to reset the root password is to start mysqld with the --skip-grant-tables option. I'm used to just hitting /etc/init.d/mysqld from the CLI and starting it that way. However, I've noticed a distinct lack of an init.d/ directory in F17.

What's the latest method of starting a daemon manually and passing parameters to it?
