Someone else may have to chime in, but I think this will work:
mysqladmin -u root -p refresh
According to the help "refresh" will Flush all tables and close and open logfiles. You may have to try it. Worst case just issue a shutdown and then start it up again.

I made a change to my.cnf and want it to restart mysqld_safe so it will re-read my.cnf. How do I do this?
Thanks,
