To start, stop, or restart the MySQL server on a FreeBSD system, you can use the service command. This command is used to control system services on FreeBSD systems.
To start the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
service mysql-server start
To stop the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
service mysql-server stop
To restart the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
service mysql-server restart
Note that the service command may not be available on all versions of FreeBSD. If you are using a version of FreeBSD that does not have the service command, you can use the /etc/rc.d/mysql-server script to start, stop, or restart the MySQL server.
For example, to start the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start
To stop the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
/etc/rc.d/mysql-server stop
To restart the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart
