How to check MySQL server status?

To check the MySQL server status, you can use the following command in your terminal:

sudo systemctl status mysql

This command will show you whether the MySQL service is active (running) or inactive (stopped).

If you're using a different system or want to check it via the MySQL command line, you can also connect to MySQL and run:

SHOW STATUS;

This will provide various status indicators about the server's performance and activity.
