Remove services from upstart

view full story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have mysql installed (from repos) on a development machine (laptop) and I don't need the daemon running on every boot. I've copied /etc/init/mysql.conf to /etc/init/mysql.conf.old and then removed everything following the "start on" line. However, upon reboot, I can no longer start mysqld through upstart: $ sudo service mysql start start: Unknown job: mysql This also fails (trying anything at this point): $ sudo service mysql restart stop: Unknown job: mysql start: Unknown job: mysql This is my upstart script: (in its entirety) # /etc/init/mysql.conf .... start on stop on starting r (HowTos)

Stories similar to Remove services from upstart

I normally use service start/stop or initctl start/stop to start or stop a daemon process but now what I am looking for is to disable a daemon process from starting at startup example mysqld.

Currently what am doing is renaming /etc/init/mysql.conf to /etc/init/mysql.conf.bak but after reading a little about systemd I came to know that it provides enable & disable option for the above task.

I originally installed mySQL on OSX and it started fine. I was able to connect with mySQL workbench and create a database. However, after a reboot mySQL will no longer start.

Can't restart mysql? 1 year 20 weeks ago

I'm having trouble restarting mysql. When I enter the following command, I get this message:

# /etc/init.d/mysql restart Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service mysql restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g.

I've just installed MySql to support a mediawiki install on 12.04 64bit. Everything appears to be working ok, except that at boot-up, mysql server fails to start. This results in an error appearing on the webpage:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

When I discover this, and run

sudo service mysql start

It all works ok after that until the next reboo

[ubuntu] MySQL Wont Start 44 weeks 4 days ago

Hi,

I moved my ubuntu server install from dynamic to static IP.

I have a few (Linode) Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit) VPSes, and mysqld keeps starting on every reboot on all of them --

$ uptime 16:32:26 up 1 min, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.07

$ ps -ef | grep -i mysqld | grep -v grep mysql 2364 1 0 16:17 ?

I have MySQL 5.5 running on Ubuntu Server 12.10.

I'm having trouble with a CentOS server running on AWS. This is CentOS 5.6 i386 from RightImage, but the problem was the same on all RightScale AMIs.

When issuing the following command:

yum install mysql mysql-server mysql-devel

the only packages proposed by yum are MySQL-devel-community and MySQL-server-community.

One thing that always confused me in Ubuntu was how system services are started. I know that Ubuntu uses Upstart and supports SysV, but which one is used to start the services?
