"The init.d scripts must ensure that they will behave sensibly (i.e.,
returning success and not starting multiple copies of a service) if
invoked with start when the service is already running, or with stop
when it isn't, and that they don't kill unfortunately-named user
processes. The best way to achieve this is usually to use
start-stop-daemon with the --oknodo option."

It is possible to get into state when there is mysqld_safe process
remained, though main mysqld process is stopped and pid file deleted. In
such cases, /etc/init.d/mysql procedure "mysqld_status check_dead warn"
will return true and script will do nothing, returning with success. But
as cited from policy manual, it should fail, since there are remaining
mysqld processes.

One way to get into this situation is to start, then stop server from
mysqld-admin, which I intend to report as a separate bug on mysqld-admin.

Best regards
