  Yes it does, openSuSE has actual scripts in the /etc/init.d directory that 
give other information, such as status, which would have been nice in this 
situation, as issuing sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop did not seem to work, the 
.pid file just changed it's contents, which indicates that something kept 
restarting it, but I have no idea what mythtv perhaps?.
