Former aspiring developer, I no longer have a mysql GUI on my computer, but something called "mysqld" is constantly running on my macbook computer under Activity Monitor. Whenever I manually shut it down under Activity Monitor, it restarts. I've attempted to shut it down using iTerm (Macbooks native Terminal denies me access for some reason) but nothing seems to shut down mysqld.
I've tried to manually shut down mysqld using iTerminal, which seemed to confirm that mysql was shut down, but mysqld is still running according to Activity Monitor.
I've tried to manually force quit mysqld under activity monitor, but it just reopens automatically.
I found the PID for mysqld under activty monitor and have run the code:
sudo kill -9 14796
(14796 being the PID for mysqld), but then mysqld reopens under a new PID (eg 18088)
