`mysqlctld` is a gRPC server that can be used instead of the `mysqlctl` client tool.
If the target directories are empty when it is invoked, it automatically performs initialization operations to bootstrap the `mysqld` instance before starting it.
The `mysqlctld` process can subsequently receive gRPC commands from a `vttablet` to perform housekeeping operations like shutting down and restarting the `mysqld` instance as needed.
{{< warning >}}
`mysqld_safe` is not used so the `mysqld` process will not be automatically restarted in case of a failure.
{{</ warning>}}
To enable communication with a `vttablet`, the server must be configured to receive gRPC messages on a unix domain socket.
Usage:
mysqlctld [flags]

mysqlctld \
