Hi,

Can you please clear me the difference between restarting the daemon and the service. To be more clear,

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
and
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

What is the difference on this both two?.....

Sorry for my typo:

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

or
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

difference between both the restart?

This may sound strange, but have you tried reading the scripts? I believe one is the Mysql client and one is the server.

Also, daemon and service are same thing. Unix services are usually called daemons. And windows call services services. :rolleyes:
