Hi It seems I cannot set wait_timeout variable. I set it up in /etc/my.cnf with this line: set-variable = wait_timeout=15 under [mysqld] section.
I tried MySQL 3.23.48 and 3.23.49a (binary, linux i686 distributions, we cannot use newer ones as they have serious problems under heavy load). When I do mysql --help at the end it will give me a list of "default" values, in which it will show wait_timeout as 15 (as set in my.cnf) but when I do "show variables" on mysql console it shows wait_timeout as 30. This is very strange as I run exactly the same config (3.23.48) on another server and there it shows wait_timeout as set in my.cnf. Where else should I look ?
