bind mysql port to an ip address

I've been setting up servers for so many times and it was been my habit that all my applications/services should be listening on one of server's ip address. I just installed MySQL and by default, it listen to 0.0.0.0. Server's ip address is 10.0.1.101 and I would like to listen it to that ip address instead of 0.0.0.0. To change this, you should have an entry bind-address on your /etc/my.cnf.

bind-address=10.0.1.101

You should restart mysqld. Reloading mysqld would not work. I tried it but it didn't work I guess I need to stop also all applications writing to the database.
