DESCRIPTIONmysqld_multi
--config-file=...
Alternative config file. NOTE: This will not affect
this program's own options (group [mysqld_multi]),
but only groups [mysqld#]. Without this option
everything will be searched from the ordinary
my.cnf file.
--example
Give an example of a config file.
--help Print this help and exit.
--log=...
Log file. Full path to and the name for the log
file. NOTE: If the file exists, everything will be
appended.
--mysqladmin=...
mysqladmin binary to be used for a server shutdown.
--mysqld=...
mysqld binary to be used. Note that you can give
mysqld_safe to this option also. The options are
passed to mysqld. Just make sure you have mysqld in
your environment variable PATH or fix mysqld_safe.
--no-log
Print to stdout instead of the log file. By default
the log file is turned on.
--password=...
Password for user for mysqladmin.
--tcp-ip
Connect to the MySQL server(s) via the TCP/IP port
instead of the UNIX socket. This affects stopping
and reporting. If a socket file is missing, the
server may still be running, but can be accessed
only via the TCP/IP port. By default connecting is
done via the UNIX socket.
--user=...
MySQL user for mysqladmin.
--version
Print the version number and exit.
NOTE
Please see the mysql manual for more detailed information
on this.
