Properly shutting down mysql

[Steve Quezadas]

If I manually shut down mysql, I usaully use the mysqladmin shutdown command. However, I noticed that the "red hat" way of stopping mysql in its init scripts is by issuing a "kill" command to the pid. Ummmm, is this wise? What about if the tables aren't written to disk? Isn't the "proper" way to issue a "mysqladmin shutdown"?
