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?

I think it is mysqladmin you are looking for.
