A couple of questions for any Mac users willing to help:
I have created an application for OS X.3 that talks to the MySQL server with
shell commands. In order for those commands to work, I have to include a
proper username and password to access the MySQL database designated for my
app within

use to locate the proper .pid on any given computer? I am hard coding this
into an application
