I'm running RedHat 7.2 with the default install of mysql. For an unknown reason, mysql refuses to shutdown on a reboot or by typing 'service mysqld stop'. It used to work and I can't think of anything that I changed.
When I type 'service mysqld stop', I get: Stopping MySQL: [FAILED] Any ideas? The applicable section of /etc/init.d/mysqld looks like this. stop(){ /bin/kill `cat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 2> /dev/null ` > /dev/null 2>&1 ret=$? if [ $ret -eq 0 ]; then action $"Stopping $prog: " /bin/true else action $"Stopping $prog: " /bin/false fi [ $ret -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/mysqld [ $ret -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock return $ret } Any help is appreciated.
