A. Simply use service or /etc/init.d/mysql script to start / stop / restart mysql database server.
Task: Start mysql server
# service mysql start
# /etc/init.d/mysql start
OR
$ sudo service mysql start
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
Task: Stop mysql server
# service mysql stop
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
OR
$ sudo service mysql stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
To restart simply, use:
$ sudo service mysql restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
