Check this GUI out for monitoring running processes. http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f91-men/qps/
It will show you the connection parameters passed to the mysqld daemon. I've had a terrible time trying to work out whether mysqld was actually running or not.The error messages are not too helpfull when trying to connect to the server. I also found it very usefull to know if mysqld was actually running. Sometimes, I would start mysql via mysqld_safe. But I noticed using qps that mysqld_safe was running, but it failed to start the mysqld! I don't bother using mysqld_safe anymore - apache doesn't need a wrapper script like mysqld_safe. If Apache stops running, then it doesn't matter if mysqld is still running or not - you won't connect to mysqld via a web application.
