I just installed xampp on my mac os x. When I tried start mysql it display a message that mysql is already running on this computer. In order to start mysql stop first mysql. I tried following ways to stop it but neither of them works.

mysqladmin version
sudo /usr/local/mysql/mysql.server stop //mysql.server command not found
mysqladmin -u root -p password shutdown //restarts the server but not shutdown

when i use which mysql command it shows this path

/usr/local/bin/mysql

and when I issue ps aux | grep mysqld command I get following output
