I have tried using the system preferences and then shutting down MySQL there, but to no avail. I also tried typing killall -9 and -11. Both failed :(.

I also tried /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown. The last thing I tried is in the following screenshot... it also did not work.

I am using yosemite, if that matters.

Ideally you can shutdown using 

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

I cannot add comments so requesting to post what do you see in error log when you do

mysqladmin shutdown

About kill commands please note that mysqld_safe is wrapper script which will start mysqld upon killing... so you should kill mysqld_safe first followed by mysqld. ( not a suggested way though).

  • that command works with no errors. However, when I check ' ps -Af | grep mysql', I still have processes running. Additionally, in my system preferences, the MySQL Server Status is still running. When I click Stop MySQL server, it stops, but then runs moments later. Thanks so much for helping me thusfar!
