Hi!
First of all, I advise you to look at the mailing list archives. There
have been numerous discussions on the optimal manner of server
startup.
I still think that rc.local is the best place for it.
Regarding different directory, you have to start a server with
--datadir-=... Also, do not forget to shutdown mysqld first and to
copy all files.
BTW telnet support is reserved for registered users.
