Description:
Section 3.2.2 ("Installing the Service Manager on Unix") states:

"Note: If you install the Service Manager as an unprivileged user, it will not automatically start up on rebooting."

This implies that installing as root _will_ have the service start automatically after a reboot. However, the Service Manager does not startup automatically on any Linux/Unix system. See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=31676 for more info.

The documentation should be corrected to state that having the Service Manager start up automatically at boot time on Unix systems requires manual intervention.

How to repeat:
n/a
