    Why is it that mysql is running twice? Once as normal daemon and once as safe. Is this normal or are we doing something wrong?

    
[root@db1 ~]# ps ax | grep mysql
14734 pts/1    S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/db1.pid
14764 pts/1    Sl     0:37 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/db1.pid --skip-external-locking --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

    Nevermind, apparently mysqld_safe is meant to be running as well
