mysql daemon list

[Ravi Thati]

I am trying to identify ways for doing the below task:
Find the list of MySQL servers on given list of hosts.
For each server, collect
1. cnf file path
2. Base Dir
3. DataDir
4. Socket/Port

my inputs are list of hosts and permissions to run commands as sudo user on those hosts.

As MySQL doesnot define any path OR user as standard, mysqld can be run with any user and it can be isntalled on any location. This is same with cnf file too.
I see only one way,i.e to find process list (Linux: ps -aef) and get mysqld. It would be command line arguments passed as start up arguments. At least we can figure cnf file for each mysqld running.

looking for better ideas from you.
