Hi! I'm struggling to understand how to fix the mysqld_safe script for an OSX machine. If I run "mysql.server stop" then the mysqld process is killed and mysqld_safe promptly starts it again. I know mysqld_safe is supposed to start mysqld if it stops but I also know there are times I need to work on files and so on and when you need to stop it you need to stop it...
Try using mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown instead.
I'm afraid the scripting in mysqld_safe is beyond my ability to figure out.
mysql.safe I can work with easily enough, and I was planning to kill the mysqld_safe process when I got a confirmation that mysqld had stopped (when the pid file disappeared), however I don't have a way (that I know) to tell the PID of the sh that mysqld_safe is running under to add the kill to the script, and I don't want to blindly start killing shells in the hope I get the one running mysqld_safe.
On our Solaris systems this isn't a problem and the the mysql.server stop script stops mysqld and mysqld_safe then decides to quit... I don't know how to fix it for OSX... I'm happy to add something to the relevant part of mysqld.server to kill mysqld_safe's shell if I knew the right shell to kill.
Any ideas here?
Best Regards, Bruce
