start mysql server at boot for debian
There's no reason for you to write this script. /etc/init.d/mysql
is an init(1)
script, so just use that:
# update-rc.d mysql defaults
If that doesn't work, you might need to look into the more advanced update-rc.d
options. For instance, maybe you are using an uncommon runlevel, and the default runlevels for the provided mysql
script don't include that.
If you were actually trying to get something to run on startup which doesn't already provide an init script, you'd need to remove the sudo
bit. init scripts run as root already. You actually have to drop permissions if you need your program to run as another user.

I am using Debian Etch and I have following this and tried to write a script like this to auto start mysql server at boot:
#! /bin/sh # /etc/init.d/blah # # Some things that run always sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
I used
update-rc.d
also, but mysql server don't start at boot, why? -
pscheit almost 10 yearsfor some unknown reason this always has stated:
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (3) of script 'mysql' overwrites defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 4 5 6) of script 'mysql' overwrites defaults (0 1 6).
I had toupdate-rc.d mysql remove
and then doupdate-rc.d mysql defaults
this fixes it. If you want to know which runlevel youre running usewho -r
