Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.1.22-rc FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.1.22
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

Ahhh -- much better. :-)

Since the rc.d system is primarily intended to start/stop services
at system startup/shutdown time, the standard start, stop and
restart options will only perform their action if the appropriate
/etc/rc.conf variables are set. For instance the above sshd restart
command will only work if sshd_enable is set to YES in
/etc/rc.conf. ...

It is easy to check if a service is enabled in /etc/rc.conf by
running the appropriate rc.d script with the option rcvar. Thus, an
administrator can check that sshd is in fact enabled in
/etc/rc.conf by running:
# /etc/rc.d/sshd rcvar
# sshd
$sshd_enable=YES
Thanks!
