I'm having trouble getting this line to work. I have tried:
kill `cat /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql/data/localhost.pid` -> Not a directory kill `cat /usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.pid` -> Permission denied
I'm not sure if I have the wrong hostname, or if the command is more flawed
than that.
Could be both; to start with, though, it should be pretty easy to confirm exactly where *.pid is, eh? If you're sure that the base directory is '/usr/local/', run
sudo find /usr/local -type f -name '*.pid' -print
and see what turns up.
Note: On my Powerbook, mysql data files (including .err, .pid) are located at /sw/var/mysql -- and I think they were installed there by default, because I'd never have chosen that :-)
And the file name on my system is the actual hostname'.pid', *not* just 'localhost.pid', in case that reference is literal...
