Comment 2 for bug 1379223

I don't understand what exactly is the problem in this report. "mysqladmin ping" works by description:

"Check whether the server is available. The return status from mysqladmin is 0 if the server is running, 1 if it is not. This is 0 even in case of an error such as Access denied, because this means that the server is running but refused the connection, which is different from the server not running. "

There may be a problem in the init script, but I don't see it. If there's a wrong password in the configuration file, but the server itself is up, it will report no errors, because the server is running. If the specified configuration file is missing, it will report an error. Which looks correct to me.
