=head1 NAME

pmp-check-mysql-pidfile - Alert when the mysqld PID file is missing.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  Usage: pmp-check-mysql-pidfile [OPTIONS]
  Options:
    -c CRIT         Critical threshold; makes a missing PID file critical.
    --defaults-file FILE Only read mysql options from the given file.
                    Defaults to /etc/nagios/mysql.cnf if it exists.
    -H HOST         MySQL hostname.
    -l USER         MySQL username.
    -p PASS         MySQL password.
    -P PORT         MySQL port.
    -S SOCKET       MySQL socket file.
    -w WARN         Warning threshold; ignored.
    --help          Print help and exit.
    --version       Print version and exit.
  Options must be given as --option value, not --option=value or -Ovalue.
  Use perldoc to read embedded documentation with more details.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This Nagios plugin checks to make sure that the MySQL PID file is not missing.
The PID file contains the process ID of the MySQL server process, and is used by
init scripts to start and stop the server. If it is deleted for some reason,
then it is likely that the init script will not work correctly.  The file can be
deleted by poorly written scripts, an accident, or a mistaken attempt to restart
MySQL while it is already running, especially if mysqld is executed directly
instead of using the init script.

The plugin accepts the -w and -c options for compatibility with standard Nagios
plugin conventions, but they are not based on a threshold. Instead, the plugin
raises a warning by default, and if the -c option is given, it raises an error
instead, regardless of the option.

By default, this plugin will attempt to detect all running instances of MySQL,
and verify the PID file's existence for each one.  It does this purely by
examining the Unix process table with the C<ps> tool.  However, in some cases
the process's command line does not list the path to the PID file.  If the tool
fails to detect the MySQL server process, or if you wish to limit the check to a
single instance in the event that there are multiple instances on a single
server, then you can specify MySQL authentication options.  This will cause the
plugin to skip examining the Unix processlist, log into MySQL, and examine the
pid_file variable from SHOW VARIABLES to find the location of the PID file.
