NAME

       pt-kill - Kill MySQL queries that match certain criteria.

SYNOPSIS

       Usage: pt-kill [OPTIONS] [DSN]

       pt-kill kills MySQL connections.  pt-kill connects to MySQL and gets queries from SHOW PROCESSLIST if no
       FILE is given.  Else, it reads queries from one or more FILE which contains the output of SHOW
       PROCESSLIST.  If FILE is -, pt-kill reads from STDIN.

       Kill queries running longer than 60s:

         pt-kill --busy-time 60 --kill

       Print, do not kill, queries running longer than 60s:

         pt-kill --busy-time 60 --print

       Check for sleeping processes and kill them all every 10s:

         pt-kill --match-command Sleep --kill --victims all --interval 10

       Print all login processes:

         pt-kill --match-state login --print --victims all

       See which queries in the processlist right now would match:

          mysql -e "SHOW PROCESSLIST" > proclist.txt
          pt-kill --test-matching proclist.txt --busy-time 60 --print

RISKS

       Percona Toolkit is mature, proven in the real world, and well tested, but all database tools can pose a
       risk to the system and the database server.  Before using this tool, please:

       •   Read the tool's documentation

       •   Review the tool's known "BUGS"

       •   Test the tool on a non-production server

       •   Backup your production server and verify the backups

DESCRIPTION

       pt-kill captures queries from SHOW PROCESSLIST, filters them, and then either kills or prints them.  This
       is  also  known as a "slow query sniper" in some circles.  The idea is to watch for queries that might be
       consuming too many resources, and kill them.

       For brevity, we talk about killing queries, but they may just be printed (or some  other  future  action)
       depending on what options are given.

       Normally pt-kill connects to MySQL to get queries from SHOW PROCESSLIST.  Alternatively, it can read SHOW
       PROCESSLIST  output  from  files.   In  this  case, pt-kill does not connect to MySQL and "--kill" has no
       effect.  You should use "--print"  instead  when  reading  files.   The  ability  to  read  a  file  with
       "--test-matching" allows you to capture SHOW PROCESSLIST and test it later with pt-kill to make sure that
       your  matches  kill  the proper queries.  There are a lot of special rules to follow, such as "don't kill
       replication threads," so be careful not to kill something important!

       Two important options to know are  "--busy-time"  and  "--victims".   First,  whereas  most  match/filter
       options  match  their corresponding value from SHOW PROCESSLIST (e.g. "--match-command" matches a query's
       Command value), the Time value is matched by "--busy-time".  See also "--interval".

       Second, "--victims" controls which matching queries from each class are killed.  By default, the matching
       query with the highest Time value is killed (the oldest query).  See the next section, "GROUP, MATCH  AND
       KILL", for more details.

       Usually  you  need  to  specify  at  least one "--match" option, else no queries will match.  Or, you can
       specify "--match-all" to match all queries that aren't ignored by an "--ignore" option.

GROUP, MATCH AND KILL

       Queries pass through several steps to determine which exactly will be killed (or printed--whatever action
       is specified).  Understanding these steps will help you match precisely the queries you want.

       The first step is grouping queries into classes.  The "--group-by" option controls grouping.  By default,
       this option has no value so all queries are grouped into one default class.  All types  of  matching  and
       filtering  (the  next  step) are applied per-class.  Therefore, you may need to group queries in order to
       match/filter some classes but not others.

       The second step is matching.  Matching implies filtering since if a query doesn't match some criteria, it
       is removed from its class.  Matching happens for each class.  First,  queries  are  filtered  from  their
       class  by  the various "Query Matches" options like "--match-user".  Then, entire classes are filtered by
       the various "Class Matches" options like "--query-count".

       The third step is victim selection, that is, which matching queries in  each  class  to  kill.   This  is
       controlled  by  the "--victims" option.  Although many queries in a class may match, you may only want to
       kill the oldest query, or all queries, etc.

       The forth and final step is to take some action on all matching queries from all classes.  The  "Actions"
       options specify which actions will be taken.  At this step, there are no more classes, just a single list
       of queries to kill, print, etc.

       pt-kill  will  kill  all  the  queries matching ANY of the specified criteria (logical OR).  For example,
       using:

         --busy-time 114 --match-command 'Query|Execute'

       will kill all queries having busy-time > 114 "OR" where the command is "Query" or "Execute"

       If you want to kill only the queries where "busy-time " 114> "AND" the command is Query or  Execute,  you
       need to use "--kill-busy-commands:

         --busy-time 114 --kill-busy-commands 'Query|Execute'

OUTPUT

       If  only "--kill" is given, then there is no output.  If only "--print" is given, then a timestamped KILL
       statement if printed for every query that would have been killed, like:

         # 2009-07-15T15:04:01 KILL 8 (Query 42 sec) SELECT * FROM huge_table

       The line shows a timestamp, the query's Id (8), its Time (42 sec) and its Info (usually the query SQL).

       If both "--kill" and "--print" are given, then matching queries are killed and a line for each  like  the
       one above is printed.

       Any  command  executed by "--execute-command" is responsible for its own output and logging.  After being
       executed, pt-kill has no control or interaction with the command.

OPTIONS

       Specify at least one of "--kill", "--kill-query", "--print", "--execute-command" or "--stop".

       "--any-busy-time" and "--each-busy-time" are mutually exclusive.

       "--kill" and "--kill-query" are mutually exclusive.

       "--daemonize" and "--test-matching" are mutually exclusive.

       This tool accepts additional command-line arguments.  Refer to the "SYNOPSIS" and usage  information  for
       details.

       --ask-pass
           Prompt for a password when connecting to MySQL.

       --charset
           short form: -A; type: string

           Default  character  set.   If  the  value  is utf8, sets Perl's binmode on STDOUT to utf8, passes the
           mysql_enable_utf8 option to DBD::mysql, and runs SET NAMES UTF8 after connecting to MySQL.  Any other
           value sets binmode on STDOUT without the utf8 layer, and runs SET NAMES after connecting to MySQL.

       --config
           type: Array

           Read this comma-separated list of config files; if specified, this must be the first  option  on  the
           command line.

       --create-log-table
           Create the "--log-dsn" table if it does not exist.

           This  option causes the table specified by "--log-dsn" to be created with the default structure shown
           in the documentation for that option.

       --daemonize
           Fork to the background and detach from the shell.  POSIX operating systems only.

       --database
           short form: -D; type: string

           The database to use for the connection.

       --defaults-file
           short form: -F; type: string

           Only read mysql options from the given file.  You must give an absolute pathname.

       --filter
           type: string

           Discard events for which this Perl code doesn't return true.

           This option is a string of Perl code or a file  containing  Perl  code  that  gets  compiled  into  a
           subroutine  with  one  argument:  $event.  This is a hashref.  If the given value is a readable file,
           then pt-kill reads the entire file and uses its contents as the code.  The file should not contain  a
           shebang (#!/usr/bin/perl) line.

           If  the code returns true, the chain of callbacks continues; otherwise it ends.  The code is the last
           statement in the subroutine other than "return $event".  The subroutine template is:

             sub { $event = shift; filter && return $event; }

           Filters given on the command line are wrapped  inside  parentheses  like  like  "(  filter  )".   For
           complex,  multi-line  filters,  you  must put the code inside a file so it will not be wrapped inside
           parentheses.  Either way, the filter must produce syntactically valid code given the  template.   For
           example, an if-else branch given on the command line would not be valid:

             --filter 'if () { } else { }'  # WRONG

           Since it's given on the command line, the if-else branch would be wrapped inside parentheses which is
           not syntactically valid.  So to accomplish something more complex like this would require putting the
           code in a file, for example filter.txt:

             my $event_ok; if (...) { $event_ok=1; } else { $event_ok=0; } $event_ok

           Then specify "--filter filter.txt" to read the code from filter.txt.

           If  the  filter code won't compile, pt-kill will die with an error.  If the filter code does compile,
           an error may still occur at runtime if the code tries to do something wrong (like  pattern  match  an
           undefined value).  pt-kill does not provide any safeguards so code carefully!

           It is permissible for the code to have side effects (to alter $event).

       --group-by
           type: string

           Apply  matches  to each class of queries grouped by this SHOW PROCESSLIST column.  In addition to the
           basic columns of SHOW PROCESSLIST (user, host, command, state,  etc.),  queries  can  be  matched  by
           "fingerprint" which abstracts the SQL query in the "Info" column.

           By  default,  queries  are not grouped, so matches and actions apply to all queries.  Grouping allows
           matches and actions to apply to classes of similar queries, if any queries in the class match.

           For example, detecting cache stampedes (see "all-but-oldest" under "--victims" for an explanation  of
           that  term)  requires  that  queries  are  grouped  by  the "arg" attribute.  This creates classes of
           identical queries (stripped of comments).  So queries "SELECT c FROM t WHERE id=1" and "SELECT c FROM
           t WHERE id=1" are grouped into the same class, but query c<"SELECT c  FROM  t  WHERE  id=3">  is  not
           identical  to  the  first  two  queries  so  it  is grouped into another class. Then when "--victims"
           "all-but-oldest" is specified, all but the oldest query in each class is killed  for  each  class  of
           queries that matches the match criteria.

       --help
           Show help and exit.

       --host
           short form: -h; type: string; default: localhost

           Connect to host.

       --interval
           type: time

           How  often to check for queries to kill.  If "--busy-time" is not given, then the default interval is
           30 seconds.  Else the  default  is  half  as  often  as  "--busy-time".   If  both  "--interval"  and
           "--busy-time" are given, then the explicit "--interval" value is used.

           See also "--run-time".

       --log
           type: string

           Print all output to this file when daemonized.

       --log-dsn
           type: DSN

           Store each query killed in this DSN.

           The argument specifies a table to store all killed queries.  The DSN passed in must have the database
           (D)  and  table  (t)  options.  The table must have at least the following columns.  You can add more
           columns for your own special purposes, but they won't be used by pt-kill.  The following CREATE TABLE
           definition is also used for "--create-log-table".  MAGIC_create_log_table:

              CREATE TABLE kill_log (
                 kill_id     int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
                 server_id   bigint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
                 timestamp   DATETIME,
                 reason      TEXT,
                 kill_error  TEXT,
                 Id          bigint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
                 User        varchar(16) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
                 Host        varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
                 db          varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
                 Command     varchar(16) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
                 Time        int(7) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
                 State       varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
                 Info        longtext,
                 Time_ms     bigint(21) DEFAULT '0', # NOTE, TODO: currently not used
                 PRIMARY KEY (kill_id)
              ) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

       --password
           short form: -p; type: string

           Password to use when connecting.  If password contains commas they must be escaped with a  backslash:
           "exam\,ple"

       --pid
           type: string

           Create  the  given  PID  file.   The  tool  won't start if the PID file already exists and the PID it
           contains is different than the current PID.  However, if the PID file exists and the PID it  contains
           is  no  longer  running,  the tool will overwrite the PID file with the current PID.  The PID file is
           removed automatically when the tool exits.

       --port
           short form: -P; type: int

           Port number to use for connection.

       --query-id
           Prints an ID of the query that was just killed. This is equivalent to the "ID"  output  of  pt-query-
           digest. This allows cross-referencing the output of both tools.

           Example:

              Query ID 0xE9800998ECF8427E

           Note  that  this  is a digest (or hash) of the query's "fingerprint", so queries of the same form but
           with different values will have the same ID.  See pt-query-digest for more information.

       --rds
           Denotes the instance in question is on Amazon RDS. By default pt-kill runs the MySQL  command  "kill"
           for  "--kill"  and  "kill query" "--kill-query".  On RDS these two commands are not available and are
           replaced by function calls.  This option modifies "--kill" to  use  "CALL  mysql.rds_kill(thread-id)"
           instead and "--kill-query" to use "CALL mysql.rds_kill_query(thread-id)"

       --run-time
           type: time

           How  long  to run before exiting.  By default pt-kill runs forever, or until its process is killed or
           stopped by the creation of a "--sentinel" file.  If this option is specified, pt-kill  runs  for  the
           specified amount of time and sleeps "--interval" seconds between each check of the PROCESSLIST.

       --sentinel
           type: string; default: /tmp/pt-kill-sentinel

           Exit if this file exists.

           The  presence  of  the  file specified by "--sentinel" will cause all running instances of pt-kill to
           exit.  You might find this handy to stop cron jobs gracefully if necessary.  See also "--stop".

       --slave-user
           type: string

           Sets the user to be used to connect to the slaves.  This parameter allows you  to  have  a  different
           user with less privileges on the slaves but that user must exist on all slaves.

       --slave-password
           type: string

           Sets  the  password  to  be  used to connect to the slaves.  It can be used with --slave-user and the
           password for the user must be the same on all slaves.

       --set-vars
           type: Array

           Set the MySQL variables in this comma-separated list of "variable=value" pairs.

           By default, the tool sets:

              wait_timeout=10000

           Variables specified on the command line override these defaults.  For example, specifying "--set-vars
           wait_timeout=500" overrides the defaultvalue of 10000.

           The tool prints a warning and continues if a variable cannot be set.

       --socket
           short form: -S; type: string

           Socket file to use for connection.

       --stop
           Stop running instances by creating the "--sentinel" file.

           Causes pt-kill to create the sentinel file specified by "--sentinel" and exit.  This should have  the
           effect of stopping all running instances which are watching the same sentinel file.

       --[no]strip-comments
           default: yes

           Remove SQL comments from queries in the Info column of the PROCESSLIST.

       --user
           short form: -u; type: string

           User for login if not current user.

       --version
           Show version and exit.

       --[no]version-check
           default: yes

           Check for the latest version of Percona Toolkit, MySQL, and other programs.

           This  is  a standard "check for updates automatically" feature, with two additional features.  First,
           the tool checks its own version and also the versions of the following  software:  operating  system,
           Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), MySQL, Perl, MySQL driver for Perl (DBD::mysql), and Percona
           Toolkit.  Second,  it  checks  for  and  warns about versions with known problems. For example, MySQL
           5.5.25 had a critical bug and was re-released as 5.5.25a.

           A secure connection to Percona’s Version Check database server is done to perform these checks.  Each
           request  is  logged  by  the  server, including software version numbers and unique ID of the checked
           system. The ID is generated by the Percona Toolkit installation script  or  when  the  Version  Check
           database call is done for the first time.

           Any  updates  or  known problems are printed to STDOUT before the tool's normal output.  This feature
           should never interfere with the normal operation of the tool.

           For more information, visit <https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/LATEST/version-check.html>.

       --victims
           type: string; default: oldest

           Which  of  the  matching  queries  in  each  class  will  be  killed.   After   classes   have   been
           matched/filtered,  this  option  specifies which of the matching queries in each class will be killed
           (or printed, etc.).  The following values are possible:

           oldest
               Only kill the single oldest query.  This is to prevent killing queries that aren't  really  long-
               running,  they're  just long-waiting.  This sorts matching queries by Time and kills the one with
               the highest Time value.

           all Kill all queries in the class.

           all-but-oldest
               Kill all but the oldest query.  This is the inverse of the "oldest" value.

               This value can be used to prevent  "cache  stampedes",  the  condition  where  several  identical
               queries  are  executed  and create a backlog while the first query attempts to finish.  Since all
               queries are identical, all but the first query are killed so that it can  complete  and  populate
               the cache.

       --wait-after-kill
           type: time

           Wait  after killing a query, before looking for more to kill.  The purpose of this is to give blocked
           queries a chance to execute, so we don't kill a query that's blocking a bunch  of  others,  and  then
           kill the others immediately afterwards.

       --wait-before-kill
           type: time

           Wait  before killing a query.  The purpose of this is to give "--execute-command" a chance to see the
           matching query and gather other MySQL or system information before it's killed.

   QUERY MATCHES
       These options filter queries from their classes.  If a query does not  match,  it  is  removed  from  its
       class.   The  "--ignore"  options take precedence.  The matches for command, db, host, etc. correspond to
       the columns returned by SHOW PROCESSLIST: Command, db, Host, etc.  All pattern matches are case-sensitive
       by default, but they can be made case-insensitive by specifying a regex pattern like "(?i-xsm:select)".

       See also "GROUP, MATCH AND KILL".

       --busy-time
           type: time; group: Query Matches

           Match queries that have been running for longer than this time.  The queries must be in Command=Query
           status.  This matches a query's Time value as reported by SHOW PROCESSLIST.

       --idle-time
           type: time; group: Query Matches

           Match queries that have been idle/sleeping for longer  than  this  time.   The  queries  must  be  in
           Command=Sleep status.  This matches a query's Time value as reported by SHOW PROCESSLIST.

       --ignore-command
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Ignore queries whose Command matches this Perl regex.

           See "--match-command".

       --ignore-db
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Ignore queries whose db (database) matches this Perl regex.

           See "--match-db".

       --ignore-host
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Ignore queries whose Host matches this Perl regex.

           See "--match-host".

       --ignore-info
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Ignore queries whose Info (query) matches this Perl regex.

           See "--match-info".

       --[no]ignore-self
           default: yes; group: Query Matches

           Don't kill pt-kill's own connection.

       --ignore-state
           type: string; group: Query Matches; default: Locked

           Ignore queries whose State matches this Perl regex.  The default is to keep threads from being killed
           if they are locked waiting for another thread.

           See "--match-state".

       --ignore-user
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Ignore queries whose user matches this Perl regex.

           See "--match-user".

       --match-all
           group: Query Matches

           Match all queries that are not ignored.  If no ignore options are specified, then every query matches
           (except  replication  threads, unless "--replication-threads" is also specified).  This option allows
           you to specify negative matches, i.e. "match every query except..." where the exceptions are  defined
           by specifying various "--ignore" options.

           This  option  is  not the same as "--victims" "all".  This option matches all queries within a class,
           whereas "--victims" "all" specifies that all matching queries in a class (however they matched)  will
           be  killed.   Normally,  however,  the  two  are  used  together because if, for example, you specify
           "--victims" "oldest", then although all queries may match, only the oldest will be killed.

       --match-command
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Match only queries whose Command matches this Perl regex.

           Common Command values are:

             Query
             Sleep
             Binlog Dump
             Connect
             Delayed insert
             Execute
             Fetch
             Init DB
             Kill
             Prepare
             Processlist
             Quit
             Reset stmt
             Table Dump

           See <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/thread-commands.html> for a full list and description  of
           Command values.

       --match-db
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Match only queries whose db (database) matches this Perl regex.

       --match-host
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Match only queries whose Host matches this Perl regex.

           The Host value often time includes the port like "host:port".

       --match-info
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Match only queries whose Info (query) matches this Perl regex.

           The  Info  column  of  the  processlist shows the query that is being executed or NULL if no query is
           being executed.

       --match-state
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Match only queries whose State matches this Perl regex.

           Common State values are:

             Locked
             login
             copy to tmp table
             Copying to tmp table
             Copying to tmp table on disk
             Creating tmp table
             executing
             Reading from net
             Sending data
             Sorting for order
             Sorting result
             Table lock
             Updating

           See  <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/general-thread-states.html>  for   a   full   list   and
           description of State values.

       --match-user
           type: string; group: Query Matches

           Match only queries whose User matches this Perl regex.

       --replication-threads
           group: Query Matches

           Allow matching and killing replication threads.

           By  default,  matches  do  not  apply to replication threads; i.e. replication threads are completely
           ignored.  Specifying this option allows matches to match (and potentially kill)  replication  threads
           on masters and slaves.

       --test-matching
           type: array; group: Query Matches

           Files with processlist snapshots to test matching options against.  Since the matching options can be
           complex,  you  can save snapshots of processlist in files, then test matching options against queries
           in those files.

           This option disables "--run-time", "--interval", and "--[no]ignore-self".

   CLASS MATCHES
       These matches apply to entire query classes.  Classes are created by specifying the "--group-by"  option,
       else all queries are members of a single, default class.

       See also "GROUP, MATCH AND KILL".

       --any-busy-time
           type: time; group: Class Matches

           Match  query class if any query has been running for longer than this time.  "Longer than" means that
           if you specify 10, for example, the class will only match if there's at least one query that has been
           running for greater than 10 seconds.

           See "--each-busy-time" for more details.

       --each-busy-time
           type: time; group: Class Matches

           Match query class if each query has been running for longer than this time.  "Longer than" means that
           if you specify 10, for example, the class will only match if each and every query  has  been  running
           for greater than 10 seconds.

           See  also "--any-busy-time" (to match a class if ANY query has been running longer than the specified
           time) and "--busy-time".

       --query-count
           type: int; group: Class Matches

           Match query class if it has at least this many queries.  When queries are  grouped  into  classes  by
           specifying  "--group-by", this option causes matches to apply only to classes with at least this many
           queries.  If "--group-by" is not specified then this option causes matches to apply only if there are
           at least this many queries in the entire SHOW PROCESSLIST.

       --verbose
           short form: -v

           Print information to STDOUT about what is being done.

   ACTIONS
       These actions are taken for every matching query from all classes.  The actions are taken in this  order:
       "--print",  "--execute-command", "--kill" / "--kill-query".  This order allows "--execute-command" to see
       the output of "--print" and the query before "--kill" / "--kill-query".  This may be helpful because  pt-
       kill does not pass any information to "--execute-command".

       See also "GROUP, MATCH AND KILL".

       --execute-command
           type: string; group: Actions

           Execute this command when a query matches.

           After  the command is executed, pt-kill has no control over it, so the command is responsible for its
           own info gathering, logging, interval, etc.  The command is executed each time a query matches, so be
           careful that the command behaves well when multiple instances are ran.  No information  from  pt-kill
           is passed to the command.

           See also "--wait-before-kill".

       --kill
           group: Actions

           Kill the connection for matching queries.

           This  option  makes  pt-kill  kill  the  connections  (a.k.a.  processes, threads) that have matching
           queries.  Use "--kill-query" if you only want to kill individual queries and not their connections.

           Unless "--print" is also given, no other information is printed that shows that pt-kill  matched  and
           killed a query.

           See also "--wait-before-kill" and "--wait-after-kill".

       --kill-busy-commands
           type: string; default: Query

           group: Actions

           Comma  sepatated list of commands that will be watched/killed if they ran for more than "--busy-time"
           seconds. Default: "Query"

           By default, "--busy-time" kills only "Query" commands but  in  some  cases,  it  is  needed  to  make
           "--busy-time"  to  watch and kill other commands. For example, a prepared statement execution command
           is "Execute" instead of "Query". In this case, specifying  "--kill-busy-commands=Query,Execute"  will
           also kill the prepared stamente execution.

       --kill-query
           group: Actions

           Kill matching queries.

           This  option makes pt-kill kill matching queries.  This requires MySQL 5.0 or newer.  Unlike "--kill"
           which kills the connection  for  matching  queries,  this  option  only  kills  the  query,  not  its
           connection.

       --print
           group: Actions

           Print a KILL statement for matching queries; does not actually kill queries.

           If  you  just  want  to  see  which  queries match and would be killed without actually killing them,
           specify "--print".  To both kill and print matching queries, specify both "--kill" and "--print".

DSN OPTIONS

       These DSN options are used to create a DSN.  Each option is given like "option=value".  The  options  are
       case-sensitive,  so  P and p are not the same option.  There cannot be whitespace before or after the "="
       and if the value contains whitespace it must be  quoted.   DSN  options  are  comma-separated.   See  the
       percona-toolkit manpage for full details.

       •   A

           dsn: charset; copy: yes

           Default character set.

       •   D

           dsn: database; copy: yes

           Default database.

       •   F

           dsn: mysql_read_default_file; copy: yes

           Only read default options from the given file

       •   h

           dsn: host; copy: yes

           Connect to host.

       •   p

           dsn: password; copy: yes

           Password  to use when connecting.  If password contains commas they must be escaped with a backslash:
           "exam\,ple"

       •   P

           dsn: port; copy: yes

           Port number to use for connection.

       •   S

           dsn: mysql_socket; copy: yes

           Socket file to use for connection.

       •   u

           dsn: user; copy: yes

           User for login if not current user.

       •   t

           Table to log actions in, if passed through --log-dsn.

ENVIRONMENT

       The environment variable "PTDEBUG" enables verbose debugging output to STDERR.  To enable  debugging  and
       capture all output to a file, run the tool like:

          PTDEBUG=1 pt-kill ... > FILE 2>&1

       Be careful: debugging output is voluminous and can generate several megabytes of output.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

       You  need  Perl, DBI, DBD::mysql, and some core packages that ought to be installed in any reasonably new
       version of Perl.
