I have mysql 4.0.17 loaded on a windows machine. It is NOT started as a service.
I can manually start it simply by going to the mysql\bin folder and running mysqld
When I do that everything runs prefect.
The problem is . . . I cannot shut it down. I must kill it with Task Manager.
Based on the documentation, I thought I could open a command prompt in the same folder as above and use:
mysqld shutdown
But that does not work.
I have searched on the Net and found many many posts of this problem . . . but no solution.
Anyone know the answer?
