Actually no, the commad *must* be in your PATH variable, i.e, it may
live under /usr/bin; /usr/local/bin, etc; as long as the directory is in
your PATH, you will be able to invoke it by its name, otherwise, if the
command lives directly under the directory you're in, you must tell that
to BASH preceding the command (executable file) name with a dot and a
slash, so in this case it wuold be like this:
./mysql -l localhost.localdomain mysql -p
