Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Community" by cisaksen. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/need-help-modifing-the-mysqld_multi-script/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- I running a multi instance mariadb cluster with 3 nodes. The nodes are all SUSE (SLES) 12. I have copied the mysqld_multi script form /usr/bin to /etc/init.d to enable the startup and shutdown of all the databases when the system starts and stops. Problem I'm having is that if I use mysqld_mult stop/start (to stop/start them all) only one or two will actually stop/start the rest just won't work. But I f I start/stop them one at a time with a few seconds delay between commands it works just fine. So what I'm looking to do is to modify the mysqld_multi script to add a 5 sec delay in between each instances start/stop. Just not where the best place in the script to do this. Any ideas ? -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/need-help-modifing-the-mysqld_multi-script/
