That's not what your previous message showed.  localhost.pid contained
4858, and that process ID belonged to the supervise process monitoring
mysqld.  It showed up in the ps|grep list because it contained "mysql"
in its argument, not in the command name.

supervise isn't designed for that.  It can send signals only to its
immediate child.
