Hi Guys,
What im looking at doing is working out the best way to safely shut down
mysql so I can do a full backup of the system, then restart it back. (im
running on a FreeBSD box)
I know I can kill the PID and other drastic measures but I dont want to do
anything that might corrupt the data.
Which is the best method for stopping mysql and then restarting it ?
mysqladmin shutdown ?
and whats the best way to start it back up again
just running the .sh file(s) from /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?
Thanks
Chris
