[rt-users] RT3 is spawning 2 additional processes every time something is done

Ben,

Currently running 'ok'... I found a couple of missing binaries and now that 
I've restored them from the tarball, I seem to be holding at 12 mysqld 
processes.  Don't know what will happen if I open a second RT GUI though.

I think A.J. may have had an excellent suggestion about wait_timeout 
though.  It's set at 28800!!!!  I tried putting wait_timeout = 60 in the 
[mysqld] field but apparently I am using the wrong syntax or I am putting 
it in the wrong place.  A 5 second crash course on my.cnf would really help!

[root at rt rt3]# /etc/init.d/mysqld status
mysqld (pid 26778 26777 26716 26715 26665 26664 26634 26633 26632 26630) is
