service mysql start does not pass options to mysqld_safe

[shinguz]

The Galera documentation states:

service mysql start --wsrep-sst-donor=node3

http://codership.com/wiki/doku.php?id=mysql_galera_configuration#wsrep_sst_donor

This does not work at least on Debian packages:

service mysql start --wsrep-sst-donor=bla
Starting MySQL database server: mysql
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe
 . . .^C

# Start MySQL!.
echo /usr/bin/mysqld_safe $WSREP_OPTS

Oli, have you used PXC or Codership's binaries? Please provide software versions.

Also look at lp:1152764 for related discussion on debian init script.

Although it seems to be a duplicate of lp:1152764, the solution will be apparently different, so keeping it separate.
