title: After using sudo stll Permission denied
body: <p>I run Mac OS 10.9.5 and I am wanting to change my mySQLWorkbench root password and followed these <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html" rel="nofollow">instructions</a> with this command (obviously inputing the correct directory and all)</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo kill <code>cat /mysql-data-directory/host_name.pid</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get this error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>cat: /usr/local/mysql/data/rodongi.pid: Permission denied
    Password:
    usage: kill [-s signal_name] pid ...
           kill -l [exit_status]
           kill -signal_name pid ...
           kill -signal_number pid ...</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Although I am  on an admin account on my Mac ( the usage: part comes after putting the password ) 
  I tried using with sudo !! but it still doesn't work.</p>
