I had shut down the mysql daemon using:
        bin/mysql -u root -p[password] shutdown
Now when I attempt to restart it using:
        bin/safe_mysql &
it gives me the message:
        [1] 2564
        The file /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not
        executable
        Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart this
        script from there as follows:
        ./bin/safe_mysql
but ./bin/safe_mysql just gave me the same message prefaced by:
        [2] 2570
I checked and found the directory 'libexec' does not exist. I can't 
recall it ever did. So now I am left wondering: "Why is it trying to 
look in a non-existent direcory?" and "What went wrong?"

Any ideas?
