Hello sashhoney....Thanx for the info on qmail feature...
This is the output of the command that u have suggested, however, it doesnt work....
[root@ns root]# mysqladmin -u root -p

Administration program for the mysqld daemon.
Usage: mysqladmin [OPTIONS] command command....
-#, --debug=... Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t
,filename`

multiple commands, continue even if an error occurs
