Hi,

    I've been running 3.23.37 on a redhat box.  with zero problems for a
very long time.   For the past 4 days or so I've had a persistent problem.
I think I had a user with an out of control query which caused the system to
run out of VM.  I tried shutting down with mysqladmin but it failed.  I had
to reboot (issued a linux shutdown, I did not have to power cycle)  and ever
since then the system has never been the same.

In general, I have very slow performance but system top reports cpu usage of
about 0.2 and I am not swapping.   I am logging slow queries and have
discovered that some simple ones like "select * from someTable" are listed
as slow and take 15 seconds or more.

    I'm not currently concerned with performance, I'm worried about platform
stability because when I issue

    mysqladmin -p******** shutdown

    it does not return.  and I have several hundred processes of
"/usr/local/mysql" listed by ps aux | grep mysql.  Killall doesn't kill them
and if I kill them individually they respawn ( I don't honestly understand
how they are controlled)

and the final symptom/clue is that when I restart mysql, show processlist
returns hundreds of:

              |

apparently these are all people waiting to get in!    but they never seem to
clear out.

My questions are basically.....what can I do when mysqladmin can't shut the
server down?  (I resorted to rebooting which I hate to do)  How can I
identify the source of my bottleneck?  It doesn't appear to be CPU nor
memory or even network (I use traffic shaping to limit bandwidth to/from the
box).


Thanks very much,

Gary H.

P.S.  Yes, I'm upgrading next week :))
