From: Steve Ruby Date: August 17 1999 8:44pm Subject: RE: Crash on shutdown List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/win32/365 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Check the .err log in the datadir, franly if it said "normal shutdown" after you stop the service (you are running it as a service) I wouln't worry about it because mysql flushed tables and logs before nt sent out the error anyway. I get this every now and again (or simliar behavior) when I net stop mysql it doesn't always just ay it stopped, but the .err log always says it shutdown clean.
