Hello, I am running MySQL 3.23.37 on an OpenBSD 2.8 box. The db is working fine and starts fine but I cannot seem to shut it down... I do mysql.server stop and this is what I see in the logs: 010528 20:59:07 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Normal shutdown but the command exits because it is taking too long and mysql is still running... then when I make any attempt to access mysql, THEN it shuts down: 010528 21:00:41 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 010528 21:00:41 mysqld ended There are no other messages in the .err log... I apologize if this has been covered already but I couldn't find a decent answer in the archives or manual... oh, I also installed mysql from openbsd ports instead of from source... if that makes a difference.. thanks, shawn --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
