This section allows you to start and stop the MySQL server you have connected to. At the moment, this is only possible if the server is running on the same machine where MySQL Administrator runs. In future releases, MySQL servers will have an Instance Manager that allows you to also start and stop MySQL servers on remote machines. Also, you can start and stop the server only if a service has been configured. If the server runs as a stand-alone application, the Service Control section is not available.
The Configure Service tab is available only for MySQL servers that run under Windows.
