This seems like an OS bug to me. All of the things you mention in your last email should stop mysql from running. What happens if you do (where safe_mysqld is running) 'fg' and then CTRL+c? Does that just hang too? Do you need the debugging for mysql? (it slows it down). Perhaps there is a problem with that and recompiling w/o --with-debug would help. b. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
