DESCRIPTION

       mysqld_multi

       --config-file=...
              Alternative config file. NOTE: This will not  affect  this  pro-
              gram'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 mysqld_safe  to
              this  option  also.  The options are passed to mysqld. Just make
              sure you have mysqld in your environment variable  PATH  or  fix
              mysqld_safe.

       --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.
