How to stop mysqld - mysql

Question

To find out the start command for mysqld (using a mac) I can do:
ps aux|grep mysql
I get the following output, which allows me to start mysql server.
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=...
How would I find the necessary command to stop mysql from the command line?

Answer 1

Try:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
Or:
sudo mysqld stop
Or:
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld stop
Or:
sudo mysql.server stop
If you install the Launchctl in OSX you can try:
MacPorts
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql.plist
Note: this is persistent after reboot.
Homebrew
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
Binary installer
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM restart
I found that in: https://stackoverflow.com/a/102094/58768

Answer 2

There is an alternative way of just killing the daemon process by calling
kill -TERM PID
where PID is the value stored in the file mysqld.pid or the mysqld process id which can be obtained by issuing the command ps -a | grep mysqld.

Answer 3

I did it with next command:
sudo killall mysqld

Answer 4

I found the answer here.
Use
sudo stop mysql

Answer 5

For Windows, you can run this command directly if mysql/bin is in your path.
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown

Answer 6

Worked for me on mac
a) Stop the process
sudo launchctl list | grep -i mysql
If the result shows anything like: "xxx.xxx.mysqlxxx"
sudo launchctl remove xxx.xxx.mysqlxxx
Example:
sudo launchctl remove org.macports.mysql56-server
b) Disable to autostart the process
sudo launchctl unload -wF /Library/LaunchDaemons/xxx.xxx.mysqlxxx.plist
Example:
sudo launchctl unload -wF /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql56-server.plist
Finally reboot your mac
Note: In some cases if you tried "a)" first, you need to reboot again before try b).

When mysql was installed with Homebrew, it automatically restarts when killed. You need to use the following command:
brew services stop mysql
PS: If you installed a specific version, it will be mysql#X.X

Answer 8

On OSX 10.8 and on, the control for MySQL is available from the System Configs. Open System Preferences, click on Mysql (usually on the very bottom) and start/stop the service from that pane. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/osx-installation-launchd.html
The plist file is now under /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist

Answer 9

for Binary installer use this:
to stop:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop
to start:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start
to restart:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM restart

Try killing mysqld four times in a row. It's the only thing that worked for me...
root#ubuntu:/etc/init# killall -KILL mysqld
root#ubuntu:/etc/init# killall -KILL mysqld
root#ubuntu:/etc/init# killall -KILL mysqld
root#ubuntu:/etc/init# killall -KILL mysqld
mysqld: no process found
Just keep killing it over and over until you see "mysqld: no process found".

Answer 11

Kill is definitly the wrong way! The PID will stay, Replicationsjobs will be killed etc. etc.
STOP MySQL Server
/sbin/service mysql stop
START MySQL Server
/sbin/service mysql start
RESTART MySQL Server
/sbin/service mysql restart
Perhaps sudo will be needed if you have not enough rights

Answer 12

What worked for me on CentOS 6.4 was running service mysqld stop as the root user.
I found my answer on nixCraft.

Answer 13

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
service mysql stop
killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld
When you see the following information, you success
mysql: no process found
mysqld_safe: no process found
mysqld: no process found
I use this to solve the installation problem of MySQL 5.6 in Ubuntu 15.10 using this link.
During this installation, I encounter the problem saying:
"mysqld_safe A mysqld process already exists"
Just completely stop the mysqld, mysqld_safe, mysql solves the problem.

Answer 14

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql/dev.work.err
mysql.server stop
worked for me.

For MAMP
Stop servers (but you may notice MySQL stays on)
Remove or rename /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/ which holds the mysql.pid and mysql.sock.lock files
When you go back to Mamp, you'll see MySQL is now off. You can "Start Servers" again.
