MySQL Restarting Every 8:30 Minutes

[seacaptainn]

Help!

My MySQL service seems to be restarting itself in intervals of 8 minutes and 30 seconds. There is, at most, a variation of a second or two. I can't seem to find out what is causing it. There are no cron jobs that I can see, the error log is only showing the stopping / starting messages, and the mysqld log doesn't seem to be showing anything peculiar around the time of the restarts. I'm at a total loss!

:-(

After I don't know how many hours of getting nowhere, I think I have found the cause.

The chkservd service of cPanel (which I now no longer use) did not have access to mysql anymore. Whenever it failed in accessing mysql, it would restart mysql.

*sigh*
