where's your mysqld located?
just change your safe_mysql script to contain the correct location of your
mysqld binary.
also, i *think* mysqladmin -uroot -p[pass] shutdown
is the preferred shutdown mechanism, didn't even know you could do that
with mysql (client).
are you sure it's actually stopped? do a 'ps | grep mysqld' to find out ;)
