## Note 

When upgrading MySQL server, the launchd installation process removes the old startup items that were installed with MySQL server 5.7.7 and below. 

Upgrading also replaces your existing launchd file named com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist . 

•The plist entries override my.cnf  entries, because they are passed in as command line arguments. For additional information about passing in program options, see Section 4.2.2, “Specifying Program Options” . 

•The ProgramArguments  section defines the command line options that are passed into the program, which is the mysqld  binary in this case.
