Hello. I would like to know if someone have created a Percona startup using Linux systemd. The Percona have three servers in the cluster. Thank you.

Hello @zz43,  
systemd scripts have been included with MySQL and Percona XtraDB Cluster for almost 5 years. When you install via yum/apt, these scripts are automatically installed for you. If you downloaded the binary tarball, the scripts are located there too.

Hello matthewb,  
I didn’t install the software as another person did install it. In which directory do they reside? Thank you.

`find /etc/systemd/ -name "*mysql*"` should reveal the script path

Hello matthewb,  
For some reason, I don’t have any mysql file in /etc/systemd. Where can I download the install tar files? Many thanx.

`systemctl --all -t service | grep mysql` shows nothing?

If not, then you can download the tarball from [Percona Software downloads for databases](https://www.percona.com/downloads/)
