I have set to: watch -n 1 'mysqladmin processlist' queries for this user keep appearing in sleep state every second but the query closes and then appears again so it doesn't look like a persistant connection? Do you think he just has too much traffic for a shared server. We have a user who keeps killing the server. I have set to: watch -n 1 'mysqladmin processlist'
