Having trouble shutting down my MySQL server.

Oct 28.2004

Well as the title says, I’m having problems shutting down my MySQL server. I was using ./mysql -u root shutdown (whilst in a root console sitting in /usr/local/mysql/bin) during testing it out, but now that I have set a password to the user, I can’t get the bugger to go down.

I did try ./mysql -u root shutdown -p (and many other variants) but most of the time I just get either the list I would get from ./mysql –help or it just tells me that there’s no server called “shutdown” :/

Any help folks?

@Paul_JrOct 28.2004 — I'm on a Windows box, but when in the mysql/bin directory, I was able to shut down MySQL via: mysqladmin -u root -p. I was promted for the password, and then MySQL was shutdown.

D:mysqlbin>mysqladmin -u root shutdown -p

Alternately, I could have just done: [font=courier]d:mysqlbinmysqladmin -u root shutdown -p[/font] rather than moving to the /bin directory.
