A.J. A.J. Dash`s solution says it all - you certainly don`t need Winmysqladmin to start and stop mySQL - I just have a couple of shortcuts to batch files to start and stop apache and mysql on the desktop. You don`t need the "start" command in fact though it does no harm.
stop mySQL with .... cd C:\mysql\bin mysqladmin shutdown (in a batch file or at the command prompt) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dash McElroy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'A. J.
