Linux creates each new thread as a whole new process ID, where as Solaris creates each new thread within the same process ID. If you ps -aefL | fgrep mysql (on your Solaris box) you will see the individual threads.
I've found MySQL is extremely faster in Linux compared to Solaris..so I wouldn't suggest trying to mess with linux. nickg -----Original Message----- From: Peter M. Perchansky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 5:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Linux vs. Sun and getting Linux to behave like Sun 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.
