Thanks for the files! They were a real life saver.

once you’ve made the org.macports.mysql5 directory you can run the following lines using curl to download the files directly to the new directory

cd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5
sudo curl -O http://robwilkerson.org/_resources/hotlink/blog/mysql5.wrapper
sudo curl -O http://robwilkerson.org/_resources/hotlink/blog/org.macports.mysql5.plist
sudo chown root:wheel /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/*
sudo chmod 755 /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper
sudo chmod 644 /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/org.macports.mysql5.plist

and create the launchdaemon alias with a single line

sudo ln -s /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/org.macports.mysql5.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist

Great links get big love. :-) Sounds like it’s time to upgrade the laptop.

Thanks for the link love Rob. BTW, my work/life balance could be better. My choice not to start MySQL on system startup is really an issue of available memory on my whimpy laptop :)
