Startup and Shutdown mySQL on NT 1

[Michael42]

In a batch program on my Windows NT server I need to shutdown then startup mySQL 4.0. I believe I am using mysqld-nt.exe.

What is the proper command and parameters to do this?

Thanks very much!

If you installed mysqld-nt as a service at installation time initially then


c:\net stop mysqld-nt


should stop the service and

c:\net start mysqld-nt


will restart it



I hope it helps

Apologies,

mysqld-nt is the name of the server running, not the service, which is simply called 'mysql' therefore


c:\net stop mysql

will stop the service and

c:\net start mysql will restart it.

If you are writing a batch you should set it to wait a few seconds for the services to stop and restart
