I tell you that there is a simple script under whatever/mysql/share/ that is called "mysql.sever" and it manages the mysql server in a very fashionable way: simply type "mysql.server start" or "mysql.server stop". I use the script to launch the server when my linux box starts.
Another posibility is to use the kill command: just type > ps -aux | grep mysqld and then > kill -TERM << and the last of the processes ID >> I hope this can help you to get into the fascinating world of MySQL.
