    Code:
    <?php

$con = mysql_connect( "localhost", "user", "pass" ) or die( "can not connect" );
if( $con ) echo "Connected<br>";

$result = mysql_query( "SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST", $con );
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result, $con ) )
{

    $process_id = $row["id"];
    if ($row["Time"] > 100 )
    {
        $sql = "KILL $process_id";
        $res = mysql_query( "$sql", $con );
        if( $res )
        {
            echo "Mysql Process ID $process_id has been killed<br>";
        }
    }
    else echo "Row not found?<br>";
}
?>
    I tried this code for cron job to kill slow query

    but when i run this cron.php then i got this error

    Connected

    Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 2 to be long, resource given in /home/r/public_html/da/cron.php on line 7

    In the below line the second parameter is type of array that is to be fetched not $con. It's a constant and can take the following values: MYSQL_ASSOC, MYSQL_NUM, and MYSQL_BOTH.

    I did install it yet

    please guide if I change

    innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50
    long_query_time = 0.1
    wait_timeout = 100
    max_connections = 100


    then it can be useful to decrease load that occur by mysql

    You got very little tables actually,
    Your table cache ratio is small becouse probably many temporary tables in memory, and 7% on disk (which could be optimized)
    But don't worry about table cache ratio, that's not a problem

    I would suggest adjusting settings as below:
    table_open_cache = 1000
    sort_buffer_size = 256K
    read_buffer_size = 128K
    read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M
    thread_cache_size = 20

    thread_cache_size = 286 - remove that, its doubled
    table_cache = 400 - remove that, its the same as table_open_cache

    query_cache_size = 32M
    query_cache_size = 512M

    remove 2 lines of that, leave one
    query_cache_size = 30M

    connect_timeout = 2

    join_buffer_size = 1M

    net_buffer_length = 2K - remove that
    thread_stack = 64K - remove that
    low_priority_updates=1 - remove that
    concurrent_insert=2

    innodb_buffer_pool_size = 384M - this is good, but mysqltuner shows 8M, so it seems like you didnt restart mysql yet after chaning those in my.cnf
    innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
    innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 - remove that


    when it comes to slow queries
    wget http://percona.com/get/pt-query-digest
    chmod +x pt-query-digest
    ./pt-query-digest /var/log/mysql-slow-query.log > slow.txt

    and copy them here for review

    status.php shows different values, so it seems like server wasn't restarted after last my.cnf changes


    your current slow log is in
    /var/lib/mysql/server-slow.log
    so

    ./pt-query-digest /var/lib/mysql/server-slow.log > slow.txt

    its good to keep that

    slow_query_log_file = server-slow.log

    innodb_buffer_pool_size in current settings from status.php is 8MB

    long_query_time is 10s :|
    horrible, run pt-query-digest and we wil lsee that slow queries

    Hello :)

    Yes, finding the reason for the slow query or tuning your MySQL configuration is a much better solution than setting up a cron job to kill them. You risk killing legitimate MySQL processes with such a cron job.

    Thank you.

    Actually I just dont have much knowledge about MYSQL, so I don't able to understand why it got hang in high traffic

    One more strange thing is that it normally hang near about 6:30 pm Indian Time

    So i'm thinking to have cronjob to save mysql from hanging
    thanks

    so you had blank my.cnf previously, or default, not the one you copied

    run this
    Code:
    [mysqld]
skip-external-locking
skip-name-resolve
myisam_use_mmap=1

key_buffer_size = 384M
table_open_cache = 1000
sort_buffer_size = 256K
read_buffer_size = 128K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M
thread_cache_size = 20

myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
query_cache_size = 30M
max_heap_table_size = 50M
max_connections = 100
wait_timeout = 60
connect_timeout = 2

query_cache_type = 1
tmp_table_size = 64M
join_buffer_size = 1M

concurrent_insert=2

slow_query_log=1
slow_query_log_file=mysql-slow.log
long_query_time=0.1		
log_queries_not_using_indexes = 1

innodb_buffer_pool_size = 384M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 20M
innodb_log_file_size = 100M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
    and run pt-query-digest before as wrote
    ./pt-query-digest /var/lib/mysql/server-slow.log > slow.txt

    and copy here slow.txt

    Now i have blank my.cnf

    Previously I have default my.cnf

    when I try above variables in my.cnf and reboot server then I got "The MySQL® server is currently offline. "

    Sir my issue is that on high traffic too many tables got open(some running, some sleeping, some locked), that we can see at Server Status it's like Total processes: 146 (10 sleeping, 121 running, 10 locked)


    If i can have some cronjob that check after 1 min or five min and see if there are too many Total Process then it can kill all query of mysql

    please guide or make a cronjob php for me that can do what i needed

    Please copy here last 100 lines from error log of mysql

    tail -n 100 /var/lib/mysq/*.err

    to see which variable it doesnt accept



    ----
    Your problem is slow execution of queries, part becouse of not optimized settings, second becouse of queries using temporary tables (means not optimized, slow queries; maybe even not using indexes)

    ok, update my.cnf to the one that I proposed, then run

    rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile*;
    restart mysql

    then run mysqlcheck -r eximstats;

    (since eximstats database seems to be broken)

    you can add to my.cnf after myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
    myisam_recover = BACKUP, FORCE
    to have automatic repair, when some MyISAM table breaks

    after restarting mysql, let it run for some time, and make mysqltuner results again
    and run
    cd /root;
    wget http://percona.com/get/pt-query-digest
    chmod +x pt-query-digest
    ./pt-query-digest /var/lib/mysql/server-slow.log > slow.txt

    to review slow queries
    you can then copy slow.txt here
