mysqlmanager
— The MySQL Instance Manager
357
Prepare an entry for the password file, print it to the standard output, and exit. You can redirect
the output from Instance Manager to a file to save the entry in the file. See also
Section 4.6.10.4,
“Instance Manager User and Password Management” . This
•
--password-file=file_name
[357]
The name of the file where the Instance Manager looks for users and passwords. On Windows, the
default is
mysqlmanager.passwd
in the directory where Instance Manager is installed. On Unix,
the default file is
/etc/mysqlmanager.passwd
. See also Section 4.6.10.4, “Instance Manager
User and Password Management” .
•
--pid-file=file_name
[357]
The process ID file to use. On Windows, the default file is
mysqlmanager.pid
in the directory
where Instance Manager is installed. On Unix, the default is
mysqlmanager.pid
in the data
directory.
•
--port=port_num
[357]
The port number to use when listening for TCP/IP connections from clients. The default port number
(assigned by IANA) is 2273.
•
--print-defaults
[357]
Print the current defaults and exit. This must be the first option on the command line if it is used.
•
--remove
[357]
On Windows, removes Instance Manager as a Windows service. This assumes that Instance
Manager has been run with
--install
[356] previously. This option was added in MySQL 5.0.11.
•
--run-as-service
[357]
On Unix, daemonize and start an angel process. The angel process monitors Instance Manager and
restarts it if it crashes. (The angel process itself is simple and unlikely to crash.)
•
--socket=path
[357]
On Unix, the socket file to use for incoming connections. The default file is named
/tmp/
mysqlmanager.sock
. This option has no meaning on Windows.
•
--standalone
[357]
This option is used on Windows to run Instance Manager in standalone mode. You should specify it
when you start Instance Manager from the command line. This option was added in MySQL 5.0.13.
•
--user=user_name
[357]
On Unix, the user name of the system account to use for starting and running
mysqlmanager
. This
option generates a warning and has no effect unless you start
mysqlmanager
as
root
(so that
it can change its effective user ID), or as the named user. It is recommended that you configure
mysqlmanager
to run using the same account used to run the
mysqld
server. (“User” in this
context refers to a system login account, not a MySQL user listed in the grant tables.)
•
--version
[357] ,
-V
Display version information and exit.
•
--wait-timeout=N
[357]
The number of seconds to wait for activity on an incoming connection before closing it. The default is
28800 seconds (8 hours).
