Is it safe to stop mysql server when server is busy?
I'm getting too many connections coming in and my site hangs. Processlist in mysql shows lots of queries.
So is is safe to just stop mysql now? Will it interrupt any ongoing queries?

if you properly shut down your SQL server, it won't loose anything other than those who are in the middle of some transactions (those will be cancelled). so its safe!
