Mysql kill fails

[Gerd Pleyer]

Hi there!

I use MySQL 4.1.9 on Mac OS X Server 10.3.8

I use the mysql.server script (in support-files) to shutdown my MySQL Server at system
shutdown.
But the command kill `cat data/my.server.de.pid` fails, so the DB is still running and
tables stay open at system shutdown.

With mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown command the MySQL I can shutdown.

Perhaps somebody of you has an idea what the reason could be

Thanks in advantage

Best regards
