[CentOS] MySQL stale socket

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have a server with a faulty power supply that resets the server every 4/5
hours.

While I wait for the supplier to change the PS, I am facing an issue with MySQL.

When the system comes back on, mysqld script starts the daemon, but the
connections via /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock don't work because MySQL doesn't
delete and recreate the stale socket.

Apart from editing /etc/init.d/mysqld to force the deletion of a stale socket
are there any other way to solve this issue?


Thank you un advance.


Ciao,
luigi
