1) If my.cnf is found in datadir and basedir, give a warning and use the
one in basedir.
2) If my.cnf is found in datadir, use it, but give a warning.
3) No warning if my.cnf is in basedir.
to only look for the mysqld binary (and english error strings) and assume the
datadir from that. Then, if that datadir turns out to not exist, startup will
fail. This avoids the behavior where mysqld_safe would go off and run a totally
different binary because the data directory had been moved (even when --datadir
was specified on the command line). (Bug #7249)
Fix calls to my_print_defaults. Some how, --loose-verbose had been added before --no-defaults/defaults-file, which must be the first option.
NOTE: this may make some installations behave differently, if they depend on this broken behavior.
bug #5001, added conditional if to test if port set, then only kill the processes
for this port, not all processes (in the case of this bug where multiple servers
are killed.)
The change to the 'grep' to make sure mysqld_safe isn't killed was per Serg's
discovery that mysqld_safe would get killed.
In my testing, in killing one of the pids for a running server, the "if test ! -f $pid_file"
was the case that evaluated as true, so in order to test, I had to comment that block
out.
Output TIMESTAMP in 4.1 format for 4.1 tables (or for TIMESTAMP(19)) (portability fix)
Fixed that INTERVAL can handle big integers. (Bug #3498)
Fixed that hostname="" works identical as hostname="%" for table/column grants (Bug #3473)
if one is running many mysqlds through mysqld_multi, for example.
Without this option, on Linux one mysqld_safe process may kill
other mysqlds as well, if started using the same binary and path.
Added bug fix from 3.23 for AIX 4.3.3 and gcc 3.x
Small change in EXCHANGE output
Propagate open-files-limit from mysqld_safe -> mysqld
Fixed speed bug in GROUP BY
Added quotes around database name in CREATE DATABASE db_name (for binary log)
