Re: Need some clarifications about mysqld_safe

It makes more sense to me if find_basedir_from_cmdline() also looks for basedir in option files as well rather than just the command line? This is what find_basedir_from_cmdline() currently looks like:

find_basedir_from_cmdline () {
  for arg in "$@"; do
    case $arg in
      --basedir=*)
        MY_BASEDIR_VERSION="`echo "$arg" | sed -e 's;^--[^=]*=;;'`"
        # Convert to full path
        cd "$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION"
        if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
          log_error "--basedir set to '$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION', however could not access directory"
          exit 1
        fi
        MY_BASEDIR_VERSION="`pwd`"
        ;;
    esac
  done
}
