Options unknown to mysqld_safe  are passed to mysqld  if they are specified on the command line, but ignored if they are specified in the [mysqld_safe]  group of an option file. See Section 4.2.2.2, “Using Option Files” . 

mysqld_safe  reads all options from the [mysqld] , [server] , and [mysqld_safe]  sections in option files. For example, if you specify a [mysqld]  section like this, mysqld_safe  finds and uses the --log- error  option: 

[mysqld] log-error=error.log 

For backward compatibility, mysqld_safe  also reads [safe_mysqld]  sections, but to be current you should rename such sections to [mysqld_safe] . 

mysqld_safe  accepts options on the command line and in option files, as described in the following table. For information about option files used by MySQL programs, see Section 4.2.2.2, “Using Option Files” .
