Hello all, during the last week I kept an eye on the database-servers and killed queries which had run for too long. In the past we had a programm for that, but somewhen it stoped working and nobody fixed it AFAIK. Because watching the mytop is a boring thing and I have to sleep too, I used the last 2-3 days to write a substitute of the old query-kiler. This program is working now. It does more or less the same as I did, but it send you an eMail when it killed one of your query. I think that is an improvment and I can spend my time with other things. You can find the parameters of when and if the killer works at [1]. Of corse there is always the possiblity of adjustments. Feel free to open bugs at JIRA or discuss on teh mailinglist.
