So reading through some messages today I thought I would take a look at: 'ps -ef | grep mysql' Which I assume tells me who owns/started the Mysql processes? And I know it is not a good for Mysql to run as root so I was curious as to whether this is the expected output and if not what do I need to do to fix it? root 4023 1 0 Feb08 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf mysql 4047 4023 0 Feb08 ? 00:00:01 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --skip-locking Thanks, JP
