HowTo SSH Restart Mysql Server on a Linux and Unix Command Line

To restart the MySQL server over SSH on a Linux or Unix system, you can use the following steps:

1. Connect to the system using SSH. You will need to use a tool such as ssh or putty to connect to the system using the appropriate credentials.

2. Once you are logged in, use the sudo command to gain root privileges. You will need to enter the password for the root user or provide your own user's password if you have been granted sudo privileges.

3. Enter the following command to stop the MySQL server:

sudo systemctl stop mysql

4. To start the MySQL server again, enter the following command:

sudo systemctl start mysql

Alternatively, you can use the following command to restart the MySQL server:

sudo systemctl restart mysql

It's important to note that the MySQL server may need to be restarted if you have made changes to the configuration files or if you are experiencing issues with the server. However, restarting the MySQL server can cause disruption to any active connections or transactions, so it should be done with caution.
