Thanks. That seems to work - though I don't entirely understand it.

I understand that the first line is checking to make sure mysql.server
is executable and checking to make sure that mysql=YES in
/etc/rc.conf.local ... but how does it "know" what the value of mysql
is? The /etc/rc.local script doesn't seem to import /etc/rc.conf.local
... I can only assume the values are read into memory during the boot
process and are stored globally until the boot process is finished?

The second line is also unfamiliar to me. It looks like it's running
the script to start the mysql server and passing the user mysqld to the
script so that the script will run as that user. However, I don't have
a mysqld user in my /etc/passwd. There IS a _mysql user in
/etc/passwd. And when I run "ps aux | grep mysql", I can see that the
mysql server is running as _mysql (not as mysqld) - weird. I guess
echo -n " mysqld" is a parameter other than the user to run as.
