I’m having some kind of problem…

Having stopped the MySQL server a running the above script, nothing happens…
The mysqld-nt.exe keeps running as a process and the server never starts.
Should this be quick?

Much simpler than the “official” version pointed out by xxxxxxx. Nicely written, thanks.

Thanks Manfred – you’re right, it did convert the double-dashes into a single dash. It’s all fixed now. Thanks again!

BTW the syntax above is missing a -
There should be a double minus sign in front of the init. Do that and the commands work fine. Looking at it, its missing elsewhere too – so might be your blog s/w converting double en dash to em dash

C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt -–init-file=C:\mysql_reset.txt
