how to make a task ?

[comake]

Hello,

I would like to restart Mysql every special hours of the day like 8 PM. Because I have more than 5000 visits/day and the server is very slow and the site display a blank page.
When I see logs, there is always Mysql problems.

I am a newbie.

Someone know how I could make a cron on Cpanel or a special task on Web host manager to reboot Mysql at 2PM, 8PM and 11PM every day ?

I can give you the scipt to create this, but its a pointless task, You need to address the issues of why mysql is over loading your server. You might want to pay for a server tune up at: sales@rack911.com

The problem is definitely not MySQL. The problem might be caused by a malicious script or a "runaway script" which can continuously loop, dragging down MySQL resources. You need find out the real cause and stop it from killing your server. Just in case you have time, read more about the causes of high server load:

Hello,


Thank you for your answers. I am very newbie and I don't know how to find the error and I will not be able to correct it too.

I just want to run :

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

at a special hour of the day.

Do you know the command to restart apache too ?

* 8 * * * /etc/init.d/mysql restart

If you have aany further clarification then please contact me at neogomez32@yahoo.co.in

All the best.. :-)

Do you think MySQL have been restarted or not ?

I want to restart Mysql every hour, is it the right command ?

0 * * * * /etc/init.d/mysql restart

I try it on SSH, and I have error message :

-bash : 0 : command not found

You need to setup cron in the root user level to shedule mysql restart on the server

[comake]

hello,

How do you do that ?

Thank you

[comake]

Someone know a good tutorial for it ?

Hey,

What other forgot to say was you need to do this.

In SSH type,

crontab -e

then you want to input

* 1 * * * /etc/init.d/mysql restart

This hit on your keyboard

CTRL X

and y then enter

That will do it!

You may also think about getting a Server Management. Where people who know servers take care of it.

This will restart MySQL every 1 hour for every day, every week, every month, every year.

Thank you.

I want to make a cron to repair mysql database with this command :

mysqlcheck -r -u mysqlusername -p databasename

But SSH ask me the password of mysql database everytime I do this. How to include the password in the ssh sentence ?

[jmarcv]

create this file:
/root/.my.cnf
[client]
user="mysqlusername"
pass="mysqluserpass"

then you only have to type

mysqlcheck -r databasename


or

mysqlcheck -r -u mysqlusername -p mysqluserpass databasename
