mysql process cannot be stopped

Question

I have recently installed 5.5.28-29.2 Percona Server (GPL), Release 29.2 in a Ubuntu 12.04 OS Desktop. I have tried to stop the server using different methods:

-         


        

Answer 1

I was having this exact same problem. Running the kill command would kill the process, but in my case it would keep popping up again under a different process ID.

The only way I could figure out how to stop it for good was this:

sudo stop mysql

Hope that helps.
