Make MySQL server terminate when shell exits or on ctrl-c

If I run mysqld, ie invoke it directly on the command-line, it survives the shell being closed or hitting ctrl-c.

Is there any way to run it "interactively", ie so that it will shut down if either of those things happen?

(I'd find this useful during development as I have a tmux script to quickly bring up and down various servers.)

You could try --gdb. That will make it respond to SIGINT, though I'm not sure if that has potential to corrupt the database. --one-thread may also be of some help.
