"Mysql still shutting down"

[batfoot]

Hi all,

I haven't seen this problem before. I have had a google and searched the forums here but found no joy.

My mysql seems to have gone down, when I try to start / restart it I get the error back "mysql is still shutting down". So I'm unable to do anything.

ps -aux | grep -i mysql returns nothing.


Can anyone recommend anything? I would really like to get away without rebooting this system if I can.


Any help would be great!


Thanks very much,

Hi.

Run /etc/init.d/mysql zap and then try to start it again.

Oh no... I rebooted literally 2 mins before you replied. It's all back up and running now.

zap maybe would have fixed it?

A quick google says that zap is a Gentoo thing?

Thanks for your reply!
