[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE 9 and mysql server startup

[Ralph Green, Jr]

Howdy,
  I have a SuSE 9 server where I want to run a mysql server.  I
installed the software and I see the executables.  I have not figured
out how to start them at system startup.  That is to say, I have not
figured the right way to do it.  I can manually start the server, and I
can certainly write an init.d script to do it.  But, I kind of think
there must be an easy and standard way to do it that I have missed. 
When I wrote init.d scripts before, it was for obscure programs, but
MySQL servers are not exactly rare.  On a  RedHat system, I just went
into the list of Services and put a check mark by  mysqld.  There is no
similar entry in SuSE.  I have googled without finding anything useful. 
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Good day,
Ralph
