I'm debugging a script that locks tables as part of an INSERT script (using Linux 7.1). Mysql frequently locks out the tables involved when there is an error (never gets to UNLOCK command. I have been rebooting until now. Using % "mysqladmin shutdown" works. safe_mysqld doesn't. Any suggestions on getting around the reboot? Thanks. Michael Conway mconway3@cox.net (703) 968-8875
