Ubuntu 10.10 MySQL

MySQLUbuntu

I have installed MySQL on my Ubuntu Server 10.10, all fine, database is running, I can login via mysql -uroot -ppassword or via mysql administrator from another cmoputer etc.

But

When I do :
chkconfig mysql --list
mysql 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off 

chkconfig mysql --list  
mysql off

If I do :

service mysql status  
mysql start/running, process 665

I am confused as I thought chkconfig would be used to see what is running at what run levels and it is showing mysql as off.

Also, when I checked the run-level by who -r it was showing as runlevel 2 (Ubuntu Server 10.10), i had to do a init 3 and then it displayed run-level 3

Any suggestions would be helpful
Kind Regards

in more recent versions of Ubuntu many init scripts have been converted into "upstart" jobs. As far as I know, chkconfig only checks the symlinks for the older-style /etc/rc*.d directories. Meanwhile, many packages (including MySQL) have converted their init scripts to upstart jobs.

To find out more about MySQL's upstart job, such as what runlevels it starts on, cat /etc/init/mysql.conf
