Somebody suggested that I create the cron job as a php scripts, so I did: include("dbinfo.inc.php");
$connect = MYSQL_CONNECT($hostname, $username, $password) OR DIE("Unable to connect to the database"); @mysql_select_db( "$dbName") or die( "Unable to select database"); $insert = "INSERT INTO sysklog2 (machine,facility,priority,logdate,logtime,message) SELECT machine, facility, priority, cast(left(date1,8) as date) as logdate, cast(right(date1,6) as time) as logtime, message FROM sysklog;"; $query = mysql_query($insert); $delete = "DELETE from sysklog;"; $query = mysql_query($delete); mysql_close($connect); I am still having the same issue, when the above script runs every minute memory usage increases by 200-500k and doesn't release itself. Any ideas/suggestions?

Also, there are 11 different instances of mysql running. Any ideas why? Or is that just how it works? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 9:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MySQL/Cron problem Hmmm, have you tried putting is a folling mysqladmin flush-threads command? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Linden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 8:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MySQL/Cron problem I am fairly new to both linux and mysql. I have a cron job that runs every minute to move data from one mysql table to another (both tables are in the same database), see below: Cron job is: mysql -u *** --password=*** syslog < /var/scripts/updsysklog2 Script is: INSERT INTO sysklog2 (machine,facility,priority,logdate,logtime,message) SELECT machine, facility, priority, cast(left(date1,8) as date) as logdate, cast(right(date1,6) as time) as logtime, message FROM sysklog; DELETE FROM sysklog; The problem I am having is every time this runs it adds ~250k to memory and doesn't release it then server locks up every 5 or 6 days. Any ideas on how to fix this?
