"myisamchk" is referencing the program in /usr/bin. The check scripts that run at server startup run "/usr/bin/mysqlcheck" though. This program just issues a "CHECK TABLE" SQL command to the server so does not need to care about extra locking. The external locking is would only be necessary if the server would not know that you are fiddling around with its database files with external programs without letting it know about this (i.e. executing /usr/bin/myisamchk). bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
