启动mysql的实质是：
mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/data/3306/my.cnf 2>&1 > /dev/null &
mysqladmin -u root -pPassword -S /data/3306/mysql.sock shutdown
chown -R mysql:mysql /data
find /data -type f -name mysql -exec chmod 700 {} \;
find /data -name mysql | xargs chmod 700
/application/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=/application/mysql --datadir=/data/3306/data --user=mysql
/application/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=/application/mysql --datadir=/data/3307/data --user=mysql
初始化数据库的主要目的就是创建基础的数据库我呢见，生成mysql数据库表等。。。
初始化数据库错误处理：
/usr/libexec/mysqld:unknown variable 'table_open_cache=4'
Installaton of system tables failed!
使用错了初始化数据库的命令，用了系统自带的/usr/bin/mysql_install_db出现的错误。
一个主机的多实例的mysql登录只能使用sock登录：
mysql -S /data/3306/mysql.sock -uroot -proot
mysqladmin -uroot -S /data/3306/mysql.sock password 'new password'
远程连接mysql使用方法：
mysql -uroot -proot -P3308 -h 10.0.55.61
