Re: What is best way to check mysql status?

[John Barton <jbarton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should look up mysqladmin in the manual. It depends on what you want
to know. mysqladmin ping will tell you if the server is alive or not, or
you can use mysqladmin status to get a brief stat report about the server.
