You can do the following unilt 3.23.45 is released (probably by the end of this week). Make a short perl program that executes 'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK' followed by a kill -9 on the mysqld process. If you know that no client is connected to mysqld, you can just do: mysqladmin flush-tables and then issue the kill -9 <cut> >> PS: do you advise that I beta-test the upcoming MySQL version?

We run a lot of test on each MySQL release, and even alpha versions are usually 'reasonable stable'; Even if many people are already using 4.0 in a production environment we encourage you to test it throughly in your setup before converting to use this!
