[ILUG] Mysql

[Linux ilug]

ok created a user mysql and move mysql to the appropiate directory
then ran the following commands:

chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
./mysqld &

and I got the error message:

050323 18:05:54 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket:
Address already in use
050323 18:05:54 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server
running on socket: /tmp/mysql.sock ?
050323 18:05:54 [ERROR] Aborting

050323 18:05:54 [Note] ./mysqld: Shutdown complete

is there a way of see what is running on port 3306?
