MySQL table needs repair

[Thrillhouse]

Database ERRORatabase ERROR:Table './snort/event' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

I don't know MySQL well enough to know how to repair a table. Any advice would be appreciated. And no, that smiley face wasn't part of the error message, it's colon D which as we all know is the universal sign for happiness.

Nevermind, a more in depth look into the help files gave me

repair table event;

and I was trying

repair event;
