Emon - Totally forgetting about MythTV for a moment..

1. What do you get from `pgrep mysql`
2. What happens when you type `mysql` in the shell as root

You should get something like this...

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 83633 to server version: 4.1.13

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

No point worrying about the errors from the MythTV side of things
until you know MySQL is running correctly.
