hello monty et al
i'm trying to write an init script for maria and artix, which is using openrc
I got it to start up but the pid-file is a problem and I think that the command line options for mysqld_safe is not working. it doesnt create the specified pid file
Gentoo's OpenRC startup script does not use mysqld_safe because of such limitations. We have start-stop-daemon create the pidfile and call mysqld directly instead. Alternatively, OpenRC's supervise-daemon could be used if one wanted to have the server "always available", but I believe that a database crash should be investigated by an admin.

MySQL and MariaDB attempt to create the pidfile as the user that mysqld is running as.. which may be a potential security issue if that user is compromised. Brian
