MySQL - Enabling the Event Scheduler
mysql -u root -p
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;
SHOW VARIABLES WHERE VARIABLE_NAME = 'event_scheduler';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |

| event_scheduler | ON |

To permanently enable the MySQL scheduler, you need to edit the configuration file named: mysqld.cnf
nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Add the following line under the Mysqld area.
event_scheduler = on
Here is our configuration.
[mysqld]
event_scheduler = on
Restart the MySQL service.
service mysql restart
In our example, we enabled the MySQL scheduler permanently.
