Comment 31 for bug 326768

I patched mysqld_safe directly based on Mario's diff (and replace the "& wait" that I had removed). This fixes the problem for me.

I also looked in the logs to see what was happening on boot with the change and I noticed:

May 10 11:02:55 willvo sshd[2981]: Received signal 15; terminating.
May 10 11:02:55 willvo ntpd[3721]: ntpd exiting on signal 15

but both seem to be running. Postfix also reloads its configuration. Is someone (upstart?) telling all daemons to reload their configs for some reason?

Is there an easy way to track down who sends a signal?

It seems there are two problems here - the signal being sent, and mysqld_safe poor response to receiving it. It would be nice to get to the bottom of each of them.
