 5.10.1.1 Starting Multiple Windows Servers at the Command Line
 ..............................................................
 
 To start multiple servers manually from the command line, you can
 specify the appropriate options on the command line or in an option
 file. It's more convenient to place the options in an option file, but
 it's necessary to make sure that each server gets its own set of
 options. To do this, create an option file for each server and tell the
 server the filename with a `--defaults-file' option when you run it.
 
 Suppose that you want to run `mysqld' on port 3307 with a data
 directory of `C:\mydata1', and `mysqld-max' on port 3308 with a data
 directory of `C:\mydata2'. (To do this, make sure that before you start
 the servers, each data directory exists and has its own copy of the
 `mysql' database that contains the grant tables.)
 
 Then create two option files. For example, create one file named
 `C:\my-opts1.cnf' that looks like this:
 
      [mysqld]
      datadir = C:/mydata1
      port = 3307
 
 Create a second file named `C:\my-opts2.cnf' that looks like this:
 
      [mysqld]
      datadir = C:/mydata2
      port = 3308
 
 Then start each server with its own option file:
 
      C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=C:\my-opts1.cnf
      C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-max --defaults-file=C:\my-opts2.cnf
 
 On NT, each server will start in the foreground (no new prompt appears
 until the server exits later); you'll need to issue those two commands
 in separate console windows.
 
 To shut down the servers, you must connect to the appropriate port
 number:
 
      C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin --port=3307 shutdown
      C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin --port=3308 shutdown
 
 Servers configured as just described will allow clients to connect over
 TCP/IP.  If your version of Windows supports named pipes and you also
 want to allow named pipe connections, use the `mysqld-nt' or
 `mysqld-max-nt' servers and specify options that enable the named pipe
 and specify its name. Each server that supports named pipe connections
 must use a unique pipe name.  For example, the `C:\my-opts1.cnf' file
 might be written like this:
 
      [mysqld]
      datadir = C:/mydata1
      port = 3307
      enable-named-pipe
      socket = mypipe1
 
 Then start the server this way:
 
      C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --defaults-file=C:\my-opts1.cnf
 
 Modify `C:\my-opts2.cnf' similarly for use by the second server.
