tag #604233 + patch thanks Uh sorry but this is realy a ugly bit of code :( It is bad to check for a running daemon this way and also to just start it then, anway here is a short quick patch..
the mysql init script provides a status command, so you can e.g. just use:
/etc/init.d/mysql status > /dev/null
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
invoke-rc.d mysql start
fi
