what's the story with `watchpid'?  i can't seem to find copies of it,
or it moved or whatever?

> killall -9 mysqld >& /dev/null

isn't this a little heavy?  what do you use the supervisor for if you
need a statement like this?

> envuidgid mysql envdir ./env sh -c '
>  ...
> ' &

why do you background the main job in a run script??

> pidfile=/opt/service/mysqld/data/`cat env/PIDFILE`
> sleep 5
> exec /usr/local/bin/watchpid `cat $pidfile`
> killall -9 mysqld

this final killall is never reached!
