an easy mysql problem

[grandmasterjoel]

i am using the standard installation of mysql which comes with suse 8.0

i have managed to start the daemon using the SysV-Init Editor, i would like to know how to start this service from the command line but it does not seem to work when i try to run the mysqld command.

any ideas? i am sure it is really simple and something that i have overlooked.

thanks

/etc/init.d/apache start|stop|restart

you can do:

safe_mysqld &

that will run it and put it into the background.
