Package: mysql-server-5.5 Version: 5.5.41-0+wheezy1 Severity: wishlist Due to a bug in dash (#782540), mysqld_safe will kill and restart mysqld if the latter is stopped with SIGSTOP. Apparently, some VPSes throttle CPU usage by this mechanism. Hilarity ensues.
Although this is not a bug in mysql per se, using /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh (which is often dash) would effectively circumvent this bug, without (I assume) any noticable impact. (If you can afford to run mysqld, surely you can handle bash as well. <g>) Note that mariadb already uses bash, albeit for a different reason (LP: #675185). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
