Hello! In MariaDB the script has a section that waits for a long time so that even the biggest and busiests databases will have enough time to shut down:
for i in `seq 1 600`; do sleep 1 if mysqld_status check_dead nowarn; then server_down=1; break; fi done if test -z "$server_down"; then killall -9 mysqld; fi See in context at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/tree/debian/mariadb-server-10.0.mysql.init#n146 This solution could easily be copied to mysql too, do you want me to git push it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
