I'm sorry, that command should have had a 'd' on the end of it, the 
mysql daemon is 'mysqld'.  If there isn't a script for it in init.d, try 
googling around for one but your rpms really should have put one where 
appropriate for your distro.  The command to start it would be 'mysqld' 
if there isn't an init script and '/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start' if 
there is.  Did typing mysql by itself give you some error about not 
having a database to connect to?
