Category:	MySQL Workbench: Administration	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.2.24	OS:	Other (Server Unix/Linux, WB doesn't matter)
Assigned to:	Assigned Account	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
1. Install two MySQL instances on a Linux/Unix system.
E.g. MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 5.1 or 5.1.46 and 5.1.47 or whatever.

Configure my.cnf for both, so that both running on different ports.

Start both.

Both processes are named mysqld

2. Open Workbench
New Server Instance

Do correct configuration for first instance
Do correct configuration for second instance

Double click one of the instances

Stop server

Server will stop.

Watching stdout from where server was started will also show that server correct shut down.

But the button won't change from stop server to start server.

If you click stop server again it will tell you that server already is running.

Looking with ps or looking for hostname.pid in data directory will show that server is stopped.

System is not recognising that it because the other server still is running. It is not recognising the right server.

How to repeat:
See above

Please provide info about your server instance profile.

By info I mean the ~/.mysql/workbench/server_instances.xml file
