Hello I am trying to turn off the query log in mysql on redhat linux. It generates huge log files (in /var/lib/mysql/hostname.log) that I dont need, and impacts performance.
safe_mysqld was run with --log, and it seems like I want to turn that off but I cant find any script or config file where the --log was specified, perhaps it was compiled in? I only have a binary distribution of mysql. Is there some way to override the --log? I have looked at section 4.9 of the mysql doc, and /etc/my.cnf (see below) and these scripts /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d/K12mysqld /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server Does anyone know which of these scripts is really the one that starts safe_mysql? (note that the err-log setting in my.cnf refers to an error log (empty on my machine) not the query log that I am trying to get rid of. Please reply directly and to the list -thanks Tom $ ps -ax |grep mysql 6010 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --log 6036 ?
