This is really a distribution issue then. But I would look inside the init.d/mysqld script and see if it is calling mysqladmin or not. If it is: Does it have the full path to mysqladmin? Did you set the root password in MySQL and now need to specify it in the file, e.g.: "mysqladmin -pthe.root?password shutdown"? b. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
