Also the /etc/init.d/mysql script would have to change this way and there the ps check was made specifically to catch running servers that are still running (due to crashes or because people modified the socket path in my.cnf etc). So currently I have no idea for a really improving patch. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
