actually if you really need to restart services (for testing/debuging),
there is a nice little command called "service" used with any of the
services in /etc/init.d

# service <name_of_the_script_in_the_init_dir_for_the_service> [action]

Without the last argument you get the list of possible actions for that
service.

See "man service" for more details on it. 

So,

# service mysqld [start|stop|...]
