MySQL Bugs: #44556: Status variable named wrong in documentation

Bug #44556	Status variable named wrong in documentation
Submitted:	29 Apr 2009 18:44	Modified:	30 Apr 2009 16:11

Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/error-lost-connection.html states:

"You can determine whether you are experiencing this more uncommon cause by using SHOW STATUS LIKE 'aborted_connections'."

However, that is not a valid status variable.

How to repeat:
mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'aborted_connections';
Empty set (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
Change to SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'aborted_connects'

mysql> SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'aborted_connects';
+------------------+-------+
| Variable_name    | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| Aborted_connects | 2     | 
+------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

(It's important to get users in the habit of using the GLOBAL/SESSION keywords with SHOW STATUS)
