MySQL command line issue - ambiguous option --s

Question

I'm getting the error below everytime I run a mysql or mysqladmin command - even mysql --help!!

ambiguous option '--s' (set-variable, shutdown_timeout)

(The daemon is fine)

Any ideas?

Thanks Daniel

Check your ~/.my.cnf

That's an oft-forgotten place where options live.

I am sorry I know this is an old thread, but it might help someone. I had a similar problem where it complained of mysql: ambiguous option '--d' (debug, delimiter). This was due to a typo in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file.
