"Select NULL" works for me when I run it manually: ..... #mysql -umythtv -pmythtv
mysql> SELECT NULL; +------+ | NULL | +------+ | NULL | +------+ 1 row in set (0.09 sec) mysql>quit # ......... So, it sounds like Mysql is giving you a connection error when the program tries to kick it (sounds like a keep-alive sort of function), which is what you suspected in the first place. Uuuhh, ok, I've never seen mysql timeout like that before, even when I haven't used it for days, but, I don't have any power saver features running, other than defaults. Here's some threads that might help: Variable that can be set in Mysql: http://rucus.ru.ac.za/docs/mysql/SHOW-VARIABLES.html Setting mysql server variables: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Server_system_variables.html Setting wait_timeout variable: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/176811 I know none of this sounds simple, but it's all I could come up with. Good luck, Don
