The kill command takes a numeric PID as its argument. You need to get the pid out of the pidfile. So to get the above to work you have to enclose cat and the filename in backticks: kill `cat /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql/data/localhost.pid` This will run "cat /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql/data/localhost.pid", getting the numeric pid from the file, then pass the pid to kill. paul -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
