Can't stop MySQL

  • 772

When I try to restart MySQL using restart mysql I get

restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; 
  type="method_call", sender=":1.7" (uid=1000 pid=18869 comm="restart mysql ")
  interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)"
  requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")

What's going on? This is Ubuntu 12.10.

    I only ever see messages like this if I forget to use a suitably privileged account. Try

    sudo restart mysql

    or obtain a suitably privileged shell and run the command in that.
