Answer 1

update-rc.d allows setting init script links on Ubuntu and Debian Linux systems to control what services are run by init when entering various runlevels. It should be able to add mysql to the list of services to run at boot:

sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults

If you later want to disable running mysql on bootup:

sudo update-rc.d mysql remove
