Ouch! That got mangled pretty heavily in the posting, and the download is 404. Mind fixing one of those?

Thanks for sharing btw.

Hi Steve, the script should clean up if you copy-paste it. and I’ve fixed the download. Thanks for noticing.

Awesome, thanks. For some reason the copy and paste didn’t work, but the download is fine, so thats great. I’ve got a small patch to support FreeBSD as well as Linux if you want it. Mail me. Very useful script, thanks for sharing.

Hi! When you figure out the licensing, feel free to consider adding this to MySQL Forge snippets :) https://forge.mysql.com/snippets/

Cheers!

Thanks Jay, I’ve referred to that site myself.

I’m posting a reponse from Steve, with his permission.

Gotcha, I think I was just thrown since per connection was .13 and the total was 13, but of course that is 100 times… I was just in a hurry reading it….

Yeah, I was thinking about increasing it before I found your script, but just wasn’t sure the system had enough total memory for it.

It’s running the whole LAMP stack…

No updates on the missing file, or steve’s linux version?

Thanks for pointing out that it went missing again. It seems to be a recurring problem.

I’ve put the file back up there, and I’ll be investigating the case of the missing files in more depth. I also emailed Steve and asked if he would post his changes.

It was recently pointed out that the link was broken again, and I apologize for that. The link is working as of now, and I think we’ve corrected the problem. Please let me know via comment or email if you notice any other issues.

This is really handy and would definitely use it if it were GPL’d. Please consider it! Cheers.
