This is a dumb question

[TheMustangGuy]

I have ran eqemu in the past but all on windows platforms (which sucks by the way way if u want a job done right go linux) but anywise how in the hell do i run mysql on linux i have it all installed but what is its command to bring it up?

./mysqld for the server
./mysql for the client

If you're root, you can do the following:

To see if its running:
service mysqld status

If its stopped, you can start it:
service mysqld start

If its running but you want to stop it:
service mysqld stop

If its running and you want to restart it:
service mysqld restart

If you want to play around with mysql, login as default user by typing:
mysql -u root
