I am trying to deploy an application on a Win98 machine (have no choice as this is all the customer has). My application requires the mySQL server to be running, but I cannot work out how to get win98 to automatically start the service on bootup and shut it down when it closes. Any ideas?

how can I start and stop mysql server automatically on win 98?
- Thread starter excession
- Start date
Hello, from the Start Menu, go to Programs, can you see an item labeled Startup? I drag the shortcut of whatever apps (Shortcut to winmysqladmin.exe in this case) that I want them to start automatically. To make sure things go okay, click start->run and type msconfig, switch to the "Startup" tab, you shall see mysqladmin there.
