How to use a Wrapper Script to set Custom Per-Process Attributes for MySQL Server
There may be times you need to set custom per-process limits or attributes. It is possible to patch mysqld_safe, but using a wrapper script is easier to implement.

Currently the simplest solution is to rename the existing mysqld (e.g. to mysqld.bin), and put your script named mysqld in the same directory. Rename the … [Read more...] about How to use a Wrapper Script to set Custom Per-Process Attributes for MySQL Server
