Hi Chris,

Thanks for your help.  Apparently mysqld does not exist on the system.  
Not sure why this is.  Has anyone else run into this issue? 
 
[root at helpdesk sbin]# locate mysqld
/usr/share/doc/mysql-3.23.58/mysqld_error.txt
/usr/share/man/man1/mysqld.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/mysqld_multi.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/mysqldump.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/safe_mysqld.1.gz
/usr/bin/mysqld_multi
/usr/bin/mysqldumpslow
/usr/bin/mysqldump
/usr/include/mysql/mysqld_error.h

[root at helpdesk sbin]# /usr/bin/mysqld_multi
Couldn't find the mysqld binary! Tried: /usr/libexec/mysqld
Couldn't find the mysqladmin binary! Tried: /usr/bin/mysqladmin
Error with an option, see mysqld_multi --help for more info!

Thanks,

Ed
