MySQL Replication after restart

Is there a way to keep replication settings current after restarting the master server, without having to change master on the slave. I notice that everytime the master restarts, you must change master bin log to the new name (eg. mysql-bin.000006 will becoem mysql-bin.000007). Is there a way to automate this without having to reconfigure the bin log settings on the slave?

 

Run

Code:

STOP SLAVE;

on the MySQL shell on the slave before you take down the master.
What's in the my.cnf on the master?

 

Code:

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog-do-db=CRISData
binlog-do-db=cellular_bruce

server-id=1

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

Will running stop slave make slave increment the bin log suffix?

 

I'd also add

Code:

expire_logs_days        = 10
max_binlog_size         = 500M

to the [mysqld] section so that the slave can catch ip again if any of the servers is down for a longer time.
