MySQL detection

[Juan Pablo]

Is there anyway I can detect if MySQL is working on a remote computer (Fedora) in which I have just access to /home/my_user_name/ through SSH2?

Thanks!

You can use a utility like nmap to scan the ports and see if port 3306 (mysql) is open, or you can see if it's running with this:

ps aux | grep mysql

[version2]

Here's a quick and dirty php script that might work for you:

<?php
if (!extension_loaded('mysql')) {
 echo "MySQL not installed";
}
?>
