How to set global event_scheduler=ON even if MySQL is restarted?

Question

I want to set the event_scheduler global to ON even if MySQL is restarted; how can I achieve this?

SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;         


        

Answer 1

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf 

Add this line at the end of the file:

event_scheduler=ON

Than reboot and check if daemon is started after reboot:

Log into mysql bash:

mysql -u  -p

Than run the command:

SHOW PROCESSLIST;

Now you should see the event scheduler daemon in the list
