The configuration file is /etc/init/mysql.conf, so: sudo service mysql start works.

Thanks for that. *buntu, as of 12.04, has some jobs that haven't been converted to
upstart.

chkconfig isn't installed, however it can be with sudo apt-get install chkconfig.

This (for example:)

   initctl show-config mysql

looks to be its upstart counterpart and shows:

  mysql
   start on runlevel [2345]
   stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016]
