Thank you Clint for taking time to answer!

I got the mysqld is alive message,

but "mysqld" command failed "Can't open /etc/init.d/mysqld, 
while stopping "mysql" gave the following output: 

adnan at laptopi:~$ mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping -u root -p
Could not open required defaults file: /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
