我们都知道，在MySQL中，可以使用mysqladmin命令的extended-status选项来查看MySQL的运行状态，比如获取我们常常关注的几个值：
# 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，如果想了解当前的状态，则需要进行一次差值计算，而庆幸的是，这个客户端工具提供了两个参数，这样就能实时的得到当前数据库的相关参数值：
-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当前数据库每秒中对应值，很直观，这个命令在RHEL 6.4 x86_64系统上可以正常使用。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，但事实并非如此。
在测试中，经常是指定了--sleep=1，但显示结果却是大概1分多钟刷新一次，非常奇怪。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 "

准备找个机会，向SUSE原厂问一下，到底什么情况的。
