Package: mysql-server-5.5
Version: 5.5.43-0+deb7u1

Hello. 

I'm using linux debian 7.8. The reload action of the /etc/init.d/mysql script actually doesn't reload database server. This action executes: 

mysqladmin reload 

which means "Reload the grant tables - flush privileges" and it is not related to reloading mysql server. Pretty confusing mysqladmin interface in my opinion. Documentation here:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqladmin.html

But info message for the reload action says:  "Reloading MySQL database server" and it is confusing too.

I suggest to remove the reload action from /etc/init.d/mysql completly.

Best regards.
