[CentOS] restarting mysql databases

See, that's what happens when you get a phone call in the middle of 
trying to help someone.  At least we got the ball going in the right 
direction.

You might load webmin onto the machine, it is a web interface and can 
make much of the MySQL control easier. It has a host of modules that may 
come in handy as you configure your machine.

http://www.webmin.com your Centos load should support it.  Are you 
adding Apache, PHP etc..?  If so the link I gave you will help with the 
installations.
