or you are speaking about
log-error in [mysqld_safe]

?

Status in Patches for MySQL by Percona: Confirmed

Bug description:
Please make syslog-ng optional, perhaps by obeying the --log-error argument to mysqld_safe.

Use case: When running several instances of mysqld on one box, parsing info out of syslog becomes awkward, especially after the fact when you don't know what its pid was. Use case for several instances on one box: For QA of an application release, load all DBs onto one box from snapshot-style backups.

Attached is a start.
