mysql.sock was deleted, how do I get it back?

 

[anjin]

kill any mysql processes, than restart with the safe_mysqld command.

On my UNIX system, ps will show the processes
I have to execute safe_mysqld from the directory above, by going ./bin/safe_mysqld

Based on this, what command would I use to restart the server?
