Thanks Johan. Yes, it shows the mysqld holding it open. Not suprising really
I guess. I did check the cron jobs and the history file searching for
something/someone who deleted it, but didn't find anything. Still, that is
what it looks like happend. I will move the sock file to /var/run/mysql so
it
Presumably someone deleted it :-) You can try an 'lsof -U |grep mysql' to
see if any processes still have it open. If the mysqld process still has it
open, it's probably not the server.
Why do you keep it in /tmp, btw ? My guess would be that someone (or some
process) decided it was time to clean
