 I'm using Mac OS 10.5.7 and launchd plist script for MySQL Server 5.0.81
 appears to be creating unmanaged jobs.  For example, the

 sudo launchctl list | grep mysql

 137     -       0x10b050.mysqld
 137     -       0x10a2a0.mysqld

 Note:  The above are anonymous jobs on Mac OS 10.5.7 that
             cannot be unloaded.

 However, there's no way to manage these jobs because there's no associated
 plist file to unload them.  At this time, the process is running:

 ps ax | grep mysql

 98   ??  S      0:00.02 /bin/sh ./bin/mysqld_safe
 --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/darnoc-
 desktop.local.pid

 137   ??  S      0:01.06 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld
 --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --user=mysql
 --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/darnoc-desktop.local.pid

 Thus, Damien Sorresso recommends the following:

 add a "-launchd" flag to the startup options
