Thanks everyone for immediate response to this problem. I can kill the mysql process
but I cannot stop it using
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld stop. I can start it like this using start but not stop it
using stop. All of this is done as system root. So runlevel 3 starts it OK, but
runlevel 5 won't stop it on shutdown. This problem arose today when I started
tinkering with grant privileges. But doesn't make sense.
