To stop a MySQL server instance on an Ubuntu linux install via the command line is as simple as entering:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Alternatively, to start a MySQL server instance you can simply submit a start command like so:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
Incidentally, if you want to check on the status of a currently running MySQL server instance, you can make use of the status switch:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status
Oh, and if you want to install MySQL on the ubuntu machine, simply make use of the usual apt-get suspect and enter:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Useful little things to remember if you are working in a terminal only environment, don’t you think? :P
