Hello, I am running the binary mysql 4.0.13 pclinux i686 with a linux 2.4.19 kernel. I have the problem that every time a client connects to the server and then exits, a defunct thread is left behind. Eventually the system prevents any further threads from being created.
Even a simple command such as : bin/mysql mysql -e "Select * from user" will add the following to the log : 030701 13:11:28 16 Connect [EMAIL PROTECTED] on mysql 16 Query Select * from user 16 Quit and the error log remains unchanged, but there is another defunct mysqld process. The output of ps looks as follows UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD mysql 1650 1631 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1652 1650 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1653 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1654 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1655 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1656 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1657 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1658 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1659 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1660 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cn mysql 1664 1652 0 12:16 ttyp0 00:00:00 [mysqld <defunct>] mysql 1666 1652 0 12:17 ttyp0 00:00:00 [mysqld <defunct>] mysql 1718 1652 0 12:24 ttyp0 00:00:00 [mysqld <defunct>] mysql 1994 1652 0 13:11 ttyp0 00:00:00 [mysqld <defunct>] mysql 2005 1652 0 13:20 ttyp0 00:00:00 [mysqld <defunct>] Any help would be greatly appreciated, Joshua Shapiro -- ----------------------------------------------------- - Service Observer * Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope - ----------------------------------------------------- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
