This is what I use in /etc/rc.local on a BSD/OS system, which is
sufficiently close:

echo -n ' MySQL';       su mysql -c "daemon safe_mysqld"

and I add whatever other MySQL options I want to /etc/my.cnf

The "daemon" program on bsd/os disassociates the process from ttys and
makes it be in its own process group, in case the application doesn't
do it itself.
