# MySQL Kill Script?

 * I have a site on HostGator that gets quite a bit of traffic. Twice in the last
   month the database stopped connecting because the site, according to HG, “has
   hit our MySQL kill script”. Beyond that comment they cannot tell me anything 
   else, or worse yet what to do about it.
 * Deactivated all plugins and switched to 2011 theme to rule out those issues —
   still no connection.
 * HG is being unusually not cooperative — all they advised is deactivate plugins
   and use the default theme to trouble-shoot — which I had done /before/ asking
   for support.
 * Can anyone enlighten me as to what can cause this and what I need to do? I really
   have no clue what to think of this…
 * Thank you in advance!

 * This the latest from HostGator:
 * “We are showing a history of this occurring daily, multiple times, for a long
   time. (I post only once a week and this is happening daily?)
 * The MySQL kill script will kill any running SQL processes that have not completed
   after 30 seconds. This is a very long time for a SQL process to run, and does
   indicate an issue with the site(s) using the database in question.”
 * ]# for kill in $(awk -F”[” ‘{print $2}’ <(awk -F”]” ‘{print $1}’ <(tail <(grep
   $(basename $(pwd)) /var/log/mysql_queries.log)))); do date -R -d@$kill; done
 * Comments anyone?
 * Any ideas?
