Hi. How do you ping Mysql fro a distant machine? (i think my previous post was not clear enough, thanks Tim for pointing me here) I have a java program that has to make sure that the MYSQL server it uses is still alive. It has to diagnose from a 'eventual' mysql problem, or a networking related problem. I can ping the machine, but can't ping mysql, simply because i don't know what to send to it, and where. John, if you read me, thanks for your anwer, but it does not apply. I hope you'll have a much better idea with this post. Thanks for your ideas. Have a nice day, peace. /---------------------------------------------/ Frederic "pepe" barachant IO labs GFX and TOOLS for and from Lightwave and Aura I C Q : ASK Visit http://www.io-labs.com and http://www.kframed.com right now ! join our board http://www.io-labs.com/cgi-local/ikonboard/ikonboard.gci for latest news --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
