Killing Long-Running MySQL Processes
Killing long running MySQL queries is easy. There is KILL command where PROCESS_ID is an ID from SHOW PROCESSLIST command. I have created small PHP script to kill all long running processes using RegExp. You can checkout it from my Github: https://github.com/klivan/MySQL-Process-Killer Just change $host , $user and $password to access your MySQL server, and add regexp that matches your query. Change $minExecutionTimeToKill to minimum number of seconds that query should be running before killing. To run simply execute: $ php ./kill.php View on Github
