exceeded the max_user_connections - how long to wait?

Hi, I continue to get the exceeded the max_user_connections error, can't even log to the console and kill the processes. It's almost 1 hour, how long before the processes quits? Could you help?

Thanks

Federico

Normally unused open connections will time out after five minutes; is it possible that you have some code running (in a console, a website, or an always-on task) which is using a connection manager and is maintaining open connections?

That said, I don't see any active connections to your MySQL server using your account at the moment.

Thanks for your quick reply! I just checked, now it is ok! I don't have any idea about what could have caused this problem... there where no running process or active tasks.. I will investigate deeply.

Best regards

OK -- let us know if you discover anything strange! BTW it's worth noting that website processes don't currently show up in either of the process lists.
