We had an issue the other day where we could not access the myslq database we have on our redhat linux 7.2 box.
when I did a ps -ef |grep mysql I got the following. root 645 1 0 2002 ? 00:00:00 [safe_mysqld] root 688 645 0 2002 ? 00:01:31 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 699 688 0 2002 ? 00:00:33 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 700 699 0 2002 ? 00:00:43 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13208 699 99 Jan31 ? 18:36:55 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13308 699 0 Jan31 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13317 699 0 00:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13322 699 0 00:33 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13657 699 0 10:04 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13658 699 0 10:05 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13659 699 0 10:06 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13660 699 0 10:07 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13680 699 0 11:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13681 699 0 11:27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13684 699 0 11:30 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13730 699 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13732 699 0 11:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13737 699 0 11:41 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13751 699 0 11:47 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13756 699 0 11:49 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13764 699 0 11:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --ba root 13832 13813 0 12:05 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mysql Why so many?
