Shut Down The Server

• The command to shut down the server is bin/mysqladmin -u root shutdown

• Another way is to invoke the comand mysql.server stop

• The mysql.server script may not be automatically installed.
  • It can be manually installed.
  • The script can be found in the support-files directory under the MySQL installation directory or in the MySQL source tree.
  • Once in the support-files directory, execute the next two commands.

    cp mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql
    

    chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql

• After installing the script, on Linux, use chkconfig to activate it to run at system startup.

  chkconfig --level 345 mysql on

How do I go about securing the initial MySQL accounts?
