Thank you for explaining. I did try mysqladmin --help. This gave me a list of commands and I understood what each did however the problem was I didn't understand why the error was occuring.
I get the impression you last comment was a little condesending, please remember all people where new to mysql at some point. I personally am having trouble with is as I am very much used to oracle and I am struggling to drop my old methods and embrace new one. I do read the help and man pages and the manual but sometimes things can be a little missleading, more so when you are used to something meaning 1 thing and you find out it means another with mysql. Please bare with me if I am slow on the uptake as I have tried to explain I am struggling to get my head around the basics.
