SYNOPSIS

       mysqld_multi  [--config-file=...]   [--example]	[--help]  [--log=...]	[--mysqladmin=...]   [--mysqld=...]   [--no-log]  [--password=...]
       [--tcp-ip] [--user=...]	[--version]

DESCRIPTION

       mysqld_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 safe_mysqld to this option also. The options are passed to mysqld. Just make sure
	      you have mysqld in your environment variable PATH or fix safe_mysqld.

       --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.
