[debian-mysql] Bug#628628: mysql-server-5.1: init script reported "failed" on start falsely

[Jochen Pawletta]

Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.49-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi

I have a similar problem like bug#352070, the waiting time is to short:

--------
May 30 17:28:57 thales mysqld_safe: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
May 30 17:28:57 thales mysqld: 110530 17:28:57 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

-------

I must say that _many_ services starts on booting the machine.
There are 4 plone-Instances for example ...

Could you make it configureable how long the init script waits?
