Re: MySQL monitoring: too many bad connections from host

> Sweet :-) Could you provide an example on how it should be used also?

> From a FreeBSD box:

check process mysql with pidfile /usr/local/mysql/var/hostname.pid
 start program = "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld.sh start"
 stop program = "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld.sh stop"
 if failed unixsocket /tmp/mysql.sock proto mysql then restart
 if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

It works like a charm!
