| Most likely, MySQL was upgraded but an instance of the old version is still running. If you restart the MySQL server, you shouldn't get this e-mail anymore.

| It can resurface again .
Restarting is not a solution
Mysqladmin proc stat
Use this command and see what is eating up mysql.

| I restarted a few times in the last 2 days and it did not solve the problem.

| This is seen in cases where the original file is replaced by a new one when the application is updated. Normally killing all the processes and restarting the service should fix the issue.

| Double check on the total no of mysql processes,
ps aux | grep mysql

| Posted by Johnburk, 09-15-2010, 04:07 AM |
| I just typed grep mysql without knowing what it does (stupid of me!) and it has been loading for a long time.
What does it do?
