difference between restarting a daemon and a service

[gsiva]

Hi,

Can you please clear me the difference between restarting the daemon and the service. To be more clear,

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
and
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

What is the difference on this both two?.....

[Roxoff]

There is no difference. Are you sure you're asking the question you intended to ask?

[gsiva]

I am really sorry for my typo:

its exactly that the difference in restarting between

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
or
/etc/init.d/mysql restart..

I hope it make sense now!!!

I was always thinking service is daemon in Red Hat language?

mysql is the controller for the mysql database, it's a service script that allows you to control your mysql server. mysqld is the service that actually runs the database, but you should be able to control it with the mysql script.
