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

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

To see if its running:

Code:

service mysqld status

If its stopped, you can start it:

Code:

service mysqld start

If its running but you want to stop it:

Code:

service mysqld stop

If its running and you want to restart it:

Code:

service mysqld restart

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

Code:

mysql -u root
