Also, if the script isn't there for some reason as Gerald explained
above, then you'll need to kill the process manually.
To stop mysql first locate the process:
safe_mysqld
And kill that with a -9, so:
kill -9 20221

The safe_mysqld is a respawning script that will keep reloading mysqld
processes.
Now try killing off all mysqld processes, easiest is to do:
killall mysqld


That should do it,
