I edited only the one line that begins if !([-n  and left the other line 
intact.

Here is a copy of the affected section from my /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld:

        # Spin for a maximum of ten seconds waiting for the server to come up
        if [ $ret -eq 0 ]; then
            for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
            if [ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin ping 2> /dev/null`" ]; then
                    break;
            else
                    sleep 1;
            fi
            done
            if !([ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u UNKNOWN_USER ping 2> 
/dev/null`" ]); then
                    echo "Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL
