NAME

6       mysqladmin - client for administering a MariaB server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mysqladmin [options] command [command-arg] [command [command-arg]] ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mysqladmin is a client for performing administrative operations. You
13       can use it to check the server´s configuration and current status, to
14       create and drop databases, and more.
15
16       Invoke mysqladmin like this:
17
18           shell> mysqladmin [options] command [command-arg] [command [command-arg]] ...
19
20       mysqladmin supports the following commands. Some of the commands take

114
115           Kill server threads. If multiple thread ID values are given, there
116           must be no spaces in the list.
117
118       ·   old-password new-password
119
120           This is like the password command but stores the password using the
121           old (pre MySQL 4.1) password-hashing format.
122
123       ·   password new-password
124
125           Set a new password. This changes the password to new-password for
126           the account that you use with mysqladmin for connecting to the
127           server. Thus, the next time you invoke mysqladmin (or any other
128           client program) using the same account, you will need to specify
129           the new password.
130
131           If the new-password value contains spaces or other characters that
132           are special to your command interpreter, you need to enclose it
133           within quotes. On Windows, be sure to use double quotes rather than
134           single quotes; single quotes are not stripped from the password,
135           but rather are interpreted as part of the password. For example:
136
137               shell> mysqladmin password "my new password"
138
139               Caution
140               Do not use this command used if the server was started with the
141               --skip-grant-tables option. No password change will be applied.
142               This is true even if you precede the password command with
143               flush-privileges on the same command line to re-enable the
144               grant tables because the flush operation occurs after you
145               connect. However, you can use mysqladmin flush-privileges to
146               re-enable the grant table and then use a separate mysqladmin
147               password command to change the password.
148
149       ·   ping
150
151           Check whether the server is alive. The return status from
152           mysqladmin is 0 if the server is running, 1 if it is not. This is 0
153           even in case of an error such as Access denied, because this means
154           that the server is running but refused the connection, which is
155           different from the server not running.
156
157       ·   processlist
158
159           Show a list of active server threads. This is like the output of
160           the SHOW PROCESSLIST statement. If the --verbose option is given,
161           the output is like that of SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST.
162
163       ·   reload
164
165           Reload the grant tables.
166
167       ·   refresh
168
169           Flush all tables and close and open log files.
170
171       ·   shutdown
172
173           Stop the server.
174
175       ·   start-all-slaves

187       ·   stop-all-slaves

190
191       ·   stop-slave

194
195       ·   variables
196
197           Display the server system variables and their values.
198
199       ·   version
200

202
203       All commands can be shortened to any unique prefix. For example:

205           shell> mysqladmin proc stat
206           +----+-------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+------------------+
207           | Id | User  | Host      | db | Command | Time | State | Info             |

254
255       ·   Maximum memory used
256
257           The maximum amount of memory allocated directly by mysqld. This

260
261       If you execute mysqladmin shutdown when connecting to a local server
262       using a Unix socket file, mysqladmin waits until the server´s process
263       ID file has been removed, to ensure that the server has stopped
264       properly.
265
266       mysqladmin supports the following options, which can be specified on
267       the command line or in the [mysqladmin] and [client] option file

293
294           Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is
295           ´d:t:o,file_name´. The default is ´d:t:o,/tmp/mysqladmin.trace´.

313
314       ·   --defaults-extra-file=filename
315
316           Set filename as the file to read default options from after the
317           global defaults files has been read.  Must be given as first
318           option.
319
320       ·   --defaults-file=filename
321
322           Set filename as the file to read default options from, override
323           global defaults files. Must be given as first option.
324
325       ·   --force, -f
326
327           Do not ask for confirmation for the drop db_name command. With
328           multiple commands, continue even if an error occurs.
329
330       ·   --host=host_name, -h host_name
331
332           Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.
333
334       ·   --local, -l
335
336           Suppress the SQL command(s) from being written to the binary log by

348
349       ·   --password[=password], -p[password]
350
351           The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
352           short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option
353           and the password. If you omit the password value following the
354           --password or -p option on the command line, mysqladmin prompts for
355           one.
356
357           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
358           insecure.

368           to, in order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT, /etc/services,
369           built-in default (3306).
370
371       ·   --print-defaults
372
373           Print the program argument list and exit. This must be given as the
374           first argument.
375
376       ·   --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
377
378           The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is
379           useful when the other connection parameters normally would cause a
380           protocol to be used other than the one you want.
381
382       ·   --relative, -r
383
384           Show the difference between the current and previous values when
385           used with the --sleep option. Currently, this option works only
386           with the extended-status command.
387
388       ·   --shutdown-timeouttimeout
389
390           Equivalent of --shutdown_timeout, see the end of this section.
391
392       ·   --silent, -s
393
394           Exit silently if a connection to the server cannot be established.
395
396       ·   --sleep=delay, -i delay
397
398           Execute commands repeatedly, sleeping for delay seconds in between.
399           The --count option determines the number of iterations. If --count
400           is not given, mysqladmin executes commands indefinitely until
401           interrupted.
402
403       ·   --socket=path, -S path
404
405           For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on

429       ·   --ssl-key=name
430
431           X509 key in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
432
433       ·   --ssl-crl=name
434
435           Certificate revocation list (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).

443
444           Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used
445           when connecting. This option is disabled by default.

458
459       ·   --vertical, -E
460
461           Print output vertically. This is similar to --relative, but prints
462           output vertically.
463
464       ·   --wait[=count], -w[count]
465
466           If the connection cannot be established, wait and retry instead of
467           aborting. If a count value is given, it indicates the number of
468           times to retry. The default is one time.
