we are running a dual CPU Red Hat 6.2 server, and when I do a `ps -afx` I get something like this (I've removed most
of the other stuff so it's clear here):
sh /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld
\_ /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
\_ /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
\_ /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
\_ /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
\_ /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
\_ /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
So, I see that there are 6 child processes running off the parent. How long will these child processes last? As I understand, after a certain point they will drop off, but is there a parameter I set when I start mysqld to specify this?
