The return message was...
--------------------------
[admin@raq3 mysql]$ ps -aux | grep sql
root      3242  0.0  1.7  2608 1132 ?        S    May30   0:00 ./mysqld
root      3243  0.0  1.7  2608 1132 ?        S    May30   0:00 ./mysqld
root      3244  0.0  1.7  2608 1132 ?        S    May30   0:00 ./mysqld
--------------------------
