Closing MySQL 1

[audiopro]

I issue the command

c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root shutdown

to close down the current MySQL sessin. This command used to work but now it appears to run, the shutdown prog beeps as before but the MySQL DOS window remains active and has to be manually closed. What am I missing?

Issuing the same command from the shell reports the error -

"Connect to serve@localhost failed
error:"Access denied for user root@localhost (using password: NO"

Should I include as password in the shutdown command?

If 'root' has a password, then it needs to be specified:[tt]
mysqladmin -u root -prootpassword shutdown
[/tt]
Otherwise you can leave out the -prootpassword .

Thanks Tony
I added the password as per the instructions but didn't realise the relevance of it.
