Hello!
I have a strange problem with mysqladmin on Solaris 8. I can't seem to shut down the server via "mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown". It just... well... sits there. Hitting <ctrl-c> gives bash-2.03$ mysqladmin shutdown ^CWarning; Aborted waiting on pid file: '/opt/db/simon.pid' after 121 seconds bash-2.03$ The Pidfile says 7962. ps -ef says mysqld is running with PID 7962. Connecting to the mysql server after running mysqladmin and terminating it works, but the uptime has been reset. I really wouldn't want to get rough with it, so how do I take it down gracefully with minimum danger of losing data?
