mysqld keeps automatically restarting

If you used homebrew to install mysql, mysqld will keep on restarting unless you use following brew command:

brew services list

Get the name of service to stop and then run the following command:

brew services stop [email protected]

In my case, it kept on restarting as soon as I killed the process using PID. Also brew stop command didn't work as I installed without using homebrew. Then I went to mac system preferences and we have MySQL installed there. Just open it and stop the MySQL server and you're done. Here in the screenshot, you can find MySQL in bottom of system preferences.
