I'll do so, but such questions shouldn't be resolved privatly as there may be others who need the same information. (Share and enjoy. :-) ) Four lines, i.e. one heading and three processes. Headin is selfexplanatory, or look into 'man ps' if you have the patient. Interesting here is USER, PID and COMMAND. USER was what we were looking for. COMMAND to pick out the processes. PID if you need to force stop the mysql server. First one is the program 'sh ./bin/mysqld_safe' which is run as root. I do not have this, but as I understand it is just a bootstrap process for getting mysql to run.. Anyone must correct me if I'm wrong. RedHat does not have this, I guess they did something clever in order not to use system resources. Second process should be our mysql server process. This one is run by mysql as it should be. Thrird process is the process you used to get this information. It is run as user 'ted'. Just forget it. -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
