i suggest adding 'mysqladmin shutdown' before sending TERM signal to mysqld. because i've seen data corruption when mysqld is terminated with signal.

i've myself implemented it by changing user mysql_logrotate to mysqlctl and adding for it shutdown privilege.


        if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys ]; then
                msg_stopping MySQL
                /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=$MYSQLD_CONFIG ${MYSQL_SOCKETFILE:+--socket=$MYSQL_SOCKETFILE} shutdown
                killproc $subsys
        sleep 1


ps: the mysql.init in cvs is idented with mixed tab/spaces at ts=8, which instead should be imho tabs and ts=4 ;)
