Have a look at the MySQL server error log. It should show messages about Shutting down.
If it does not report the shutdowns, Unix would just be killing it, and that could be causing, not solving the problems. MySQL shutdowns might not happen when Unix is shutdown, because sometimes the rc.d scripts are not installed or are wrong.

Because they have been repaired before, following a previous crash, I believe that prior to the shut down last night all was well. I have run in to the issue of trying to repair a 'live' table, with subsequent disaster, but that is not the issue here - the issue is why does the table get corrupted in the first place. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
