Mathias, i can trigger this problem on my laptop which is *not* running mythbackend by simply issuing 'sudo killall -HUP mysqld_safe'. So it's not related to MythTV.
In fact, if you issue 'mysqladmin refresh' as done by mysqld_safe when it catches a SIGHUP, mysqld will *not* crash. See Mario's explanation why the patch is broken. How to break it: sudo killall -HUP mysqld_safe Expected behavior: * 'mysqladmin refresh' is run OR * nothing happens, as intended by upstream Resulting behavior: * mysqld is restarted -- mysqld_safe thinks mysqld has crashed when it hasn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
