Description:
The mysql.server init script has deficiencies which all fall under a general heading of LSB compliance. It emits messages in a manner that is inconsistent on LSB compliant machines. It does not define actions status, try-restart or force-reload, the absence of which can cause failures on systems reliant on services responding to those actions. 

How to repeat:
Check the LSB init script spec. 
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact....

Suggested fix:
Implement LSB init script requirements.

  of LSB compliance.

  Moved cd $basedir to live in the start section, as it only applies to the start
  functionality and breaks the restart task
