+For use in Red Hat distributions, you should run the script as user mysql,
+who is created with nologin shell however, so the best bet is something like
+ $ su -
+ # cd /usr/share/mysql-test
+ # su -s /bin/bash mysql -c "./mysql-test-run --skip-test-list=unstable-tests"
+
+This will use the installed mysql executables, but will run a private copy
+of the server process (using data files within /usr/share/mysql-test),
+so you need not start the mysqld service beforehand.
+
+The "--skip-test-list=unstable-tests" option excludes tests that are
+known to fail on one or more Red-Hat-supported platforms. You can omit it
+if you want to check whether such failures occur for you. Documentation
+about the reasons for omitting such tests can be found in the file
+unstable-tests.
+
+To clean up afterwards, remove the created "var" subdirectory, eg
+ # su -s /bin/bash - mysql -c "rm -rf /usr/share/mysql-test/var"
