Greetings everyone: I've noticed that when mySQL runs on Sun Solaris (6, 7, and 8) there will be two processes running (safe_mysqld and mysqld).
And this number of processes running will very rarely change, if at all, without concern over the number of connections or how heavily mySQL is being utilized. On Linux there appears to be a correlation to the number of mysqld processes and how heavily mySQL is being hit (connections, queries, etc.). Questions: 1. Are my observations correct? 2. Is there a way to compile mySQL on Linux so that it behaves like on Sun where by there is the safe_mysqld and mysqld process only no matter the activity? If so, how? Thank you. ________________________________________________ Peter M. Perchansky, President/CEO Dynamic Net, Inc.
