Re: executing commands, correct syntax?

[douglas wilson]

Yes it is correct but you must change some command.I will put here some command.

C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld"

The path to mysqld may vary depending on the install location of MySQL on your system.

You can stop the MySQL server by executing this command:

C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown

If the MySQL root user account has a password, you need to invoke mysqladmin with the -p option and supply the password when prompted.

The last option is to start mysqld with the --standalone and --debug options.
