- [passwords]
- If you change the password of the root user (which is strongly recommended)
- you have to create a personal mysql config file in order to let cron run
- the /etc/cron.daily script without asking you for the password.
- The /root/.my.cnf file should be chmod 0600 (-rw------- root root .my.cnf)
- and have the following content:
- [mysqladmin]
- user = root
- password = <secret>
-
- [more than one process]
- Note that the shutdown script cannot use the pid number stored in
- /var/run, since it is for the first mysqld thread, but we need to kill
- the most recent thread to shutdown the server. The upstream developers
- are aware of this bug. When maintaining your database, you should use
- mysqladmin with your password to shutdown and reload the server rather
- than /etc/init.d/mysql.
