Reload MySQL config without restart?

[djvishnu]

Is it possible to reload the mysql configuration without restarting?

I have to add a bind "ip" to my.cnf on a radius accounting server, but I do not want to restart the whole service.

MySQL settings are loaded in RAM of your system. There's no other way to flush previous memory other than restarting MySQL.

etechsupport.net that's not quite true...

Try # sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reload
