New description:

 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
