我们都知道，在MySQL中。能够使用mysqladmin命令的extended-status选项来查看MySQL的执行状态，比方获取我们经常关注的几个值：

# mysqladmin -uroot -proot ext |grep "Questions\|Queries\|Innodb_rows\|Com_select \|Com_insert \|Com_update \|Com_delete "

| Com_delete                               | 26750       |

| Com_insert                               | 347420      |

| Com_select                               | 1341126     |

| Com_update                               | 454425      |

| Innodb_rows_deleted                      | 26590       |

| Innodb_rows_inserted                     | 347416      |

| Innodb_rows_read                         | 2964050     |

| Innodb_rows_updated                      | 695605      |

| Queries                                  | 2304578     |

| Questions                                | 2259777     |

但这样得到的数值都累计的。假设想了解当前的状态。则须要进行一次差值计算。而庆幸的是，这个client工具提供了两个參数，这样就能实时的得到当前数据库的相关參数值：

-i, --sleep=#       Execute commands again and again with a sleep between，单位是秒

-r, --relative        Show difference between current and previous values when

                                      used with -i. Currently works only with extended-status.

# mysqladmin -uroot -proot ext -i 1 -r |grep "Questions\|Queries\|Innodb_rows\|Com_select \|Com_insert \|Com_update \|Com_delete "

| Com_delete                               | 26750       |

| Com_insert                               | 347420      |

| Com_select                               | 1341129     |

| Com_update                               | 454425      |

| Innodb_rows_deleted                      | 26590       |

| Innodb_rows_inserted                     | 347416      |

| Innodb_rows_read                         | 2964050     |

| Innodb_rows_updated                      | 695605      |

| Queries                                  | 2304592     |

| Questions                                | 2259791     |

这样就得到了MySQL当前数据库每秒中相应值。非常直观，这个命令在RHEL 6.4 x86_64系统上能够正常使用。但在SuSE linux 11sp1 x86_64系统中，却是不准确的。即使用-i（或--sleep=）指定刷新的秒数，但事实并不是如此。

在測试中。常常是指定了--sleep=1，但显示结果却是大概1分多钟刷新一次，很奇怪。但在使用strace跟踪发现了原因：

# strace mysqladmin -uroot -proot ext -i 1 -r |grep "Questions\|Queries\|Innodb_rows\|Com_select \|Com_insert \|Com_update \|Com_delete "

问题就在即使指定的是1秒刷新，但系统调用时却是83s刷新一次：

nanosleep({83, 0}

非常可惜。这个功能不在这个系统中使用。更不幸的时。生产环境中的全都SuSE linux 11sp1系统，郁闷......

准备找个机会，向SUSE原厂问一下，究竟什么情况的。
