MySQL - Enable/Disable auto startup in Unix/Linux

In this post let's see how to enable or disable auto startup of MySQL Database in Unix based machines

Environment: Fedora Linux v37

Dealing with MySQL

• Starting MySQL: sudo service mysqld start or sudo systemctl start mysqld
• Stopping MySQL: sudo service mysqld stop or sudo systemctl stop mysqld
• Disable auto startup of MySQL Database at the time of system startup
• Check the current auto startup status using the command sudo service mysqld status or sudo systemctl status mysqld
  
• If already enabled for auto start then the result will be as follows

• Now issue the command sudo systemctl disable mysqld to disable auto startup
• One can verify now to make sure the auto startup is disabled using the command sudo service mysqld status or sudo systemctl status mysqld

• Note: the systemctl commands are the modern way of starting/stopping services
