Paul, I do not know why, but it did not work. Please see yourself: This lines I could not copy and paste because the results are on a not connected Mac and this is a windows machine. So I had to write it by hand (- but looked 2 times at the text)
Your example: >% ps ax | grep mysql > 251 ?? S 0:00.08 sh /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld > 287 ?? S 0:01.65 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld > >Figure out where mysqld is installed (for me, that's >/usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld) and invoke it like this (either as >root or as the login account used to run the server): > >% /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld -Sg ---> mysqld is listed in /usr/local/mysql/bin. My results: ----------- [localhost:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% ps ax | grep mysql 255 ?? S 0:00.17 sh ./bin/safe_mysqld 298 ?? S 0:01.09 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld 358 ?? S+ 0:00.01 grep mysql ---> I ran it a second time to explore: [localhost:/usr/local/mysql] hlutz% ps ax | grep mysql 255 ?? S 0:00.17 sh ./bin/safe_mysqld 298 ?? S 0:01.09 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld 358 ??

I can not login within the terminal as user mysql (% su mysql). A password is wanted, but I did not set one on OSX level. Can there be anything with accessrights because all files in /usr/local/mysql belong to the group mysql and user mysql and not partly to root (and wheel before - whatever user wheel is).
