Query: how do I kill daemondo run mysql5

[clemson472 (Dr. D. E. Stevenson)]

I have tried all the usual things, but it keeps coming back. Here's the ps entry

root           12891   0.0  0.0  2501144    592   ??  Ss    3:07PM   0:00.02 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=mysql5 --start-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper start ; --stop-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper stop ; --restart-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper restart ; --pid=none

/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/ only contains directories for apache2 and rsync

Assuming you started it by running

sudo port load mysql5-server

(or using the more verbose but equivalent launchctl command), you stop it by running

sudo port unload mysql5-server

Replying to steve@…:

/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/ only contains directories for apache2 and rsync

That should only occur if you installed mysql5-server, then loaded it, then uninstalled it without first unloading it. If that's what happened, then reinstall it, unload it, then (assuming you don't want it) uninstall it again.
