Mysql Running but no restart or reload link in DA

[el_dorito]

Hello,

When I go to the service monitor in DA I only see a start/stop link next to mysqld. The service is running fine but from what I remember there used to be a restart/reload button next to it.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
Best regards,
Geert

Hello,

I don't have it either. So run stop and start that will be restart. As restart always consists of two operations: stop and start.

I'm not sure if they've changed it, but way back when we first started, the mysqld boot scripts only had a start/stop.
I've just changed it now, so it runs the mysqld boot script, with no options, and if it finds the "restart" or "reload" strings, it will active those items.
This will just be for MySQL.

It appears to have been added for yearts now, specifically for CentOS, which is what I'm familiar with.

However, I always restart from the command line because I've had rare occasions when it takes quite some time, and even occasions when the stop needs to be run repeatedly to get all the instances stopped.

MySQL does all it can to maintain data integrity, so it won't just stop; it will clear all caches and do all writes, and if it's busy, I've seen problems.
