For folks that are having trouble with clean shutdown on OS X, try using mysqladmin -u root -ppw flush-tables before shutting down mysql.
I hadn't had a shutdown problem in a week then this evening I got the dreaded pid file hang at shutdown and had to use kill -9. The only thing I did differently was I *DID NOT* flush the tables first. Its all circumstantial, but its all I've got :) Steve Fox UT CMHC --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
