I have installed MySQL Essentials 5.1.49 on Windows Server 2003 (Datacenter Edition SP2).
I would like to start the server "manually" from a login-script. If I just run mysqld the script hangs, waiting for the server to terminate.
Acc. to the books there should be a mysqld_safe or safe_mysqld, dep on the version, to start the server as a background process. But I can't find neither anywhere in my installation. I also tried a "complete MySQL installation" but couldn't find it there either.
So my question: how can I start mysqld as a background process?
And no: I can't run it as a service (see my other post http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,381485,381485#msg-381485)
