Was wondering if anybody knows if there are advantages to using
"mysqladmin -pPassword shutdown" compared to "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld
stop"? I have a script that was using mysqladmin to shutdown the daemon
and then "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start" to restart it. Problem was, and I
am not sure if it is related to it, but when restarting, it wasn't
recreating the /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file. Strange though because I
could run the mysqladmin shutdown on the command line and then the
init.d/mysqld start and everything worked just fine. It was only doing it
when running it through my script from a cron job. I could even run the
script from the command line and it would work. It was just when I ran it
through a cron job at 1am every morning.
