[Bug 1468804] Re: mysql stop/restart fails + breaking mysql + reboots

[David Favor]

Cleanest fix is to downgrade to Utopic, as systemd also fails for many
other services like Apache + fail2ban.

If running Vivid is a required, this hack seems to correctly top +
restart MySQL.

alias mysql-stop='mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf shutdown'
alias mysql-start='service mysql restart'
alias mysql-restart='mysql-stop ; mysql-start'

Only way I've found to get around systemd hang.
