I'm on Mac OS 10.5. How do I get a link from /tmp/mysql.sock to /opt/.../mysql.sock to stay after reboot?
Is there a better way of doing this, like adding an alias in .profile if
possible, or is it assumed that you never reboot your machine? 
Why don't you use the socket option in database.yml to point to opt/... ? You can use this setting for development and another for production. Alternatively create database.mymachine.yml and database.production.yml and link the right file to database.yml

I could do that, but it's convenient to use /tmp/mysql.sock as other programs look there first.

Presumably you can configure mysql to put its socket in /tmp rather
than in /opt/...

This might do what you want with the values you want in it:
# recipe 25 from "rails recipes"
