How to stop mysqld

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 mys

Answer 1

/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.
