Description:
2010-12-20 21:10:21 - Checking server status...
2010-12-20 21:10:21 - Executing: ps -C mysqld -o pid= (using sudo)
2010-12-20 21:10:21 - Note: no sudo password supplied
2010-12-20 21:10:30 - Check server: Password: 
2010-12-20 21:10:40 - Server check returned None
2010-12-20 21:10:54 - Server is running

In the previous version, 5.2.30, I did not have this problem.  I changed nothing since I upgraded to 5.2.31.

How to repeat:
Start MySQL Workbench.
Under Server Administration, double-click the profile you want to start.
The messages above appear.

Thank you for the bug report. It is local or remote connection?. Thanks in advance.
[21 Dec 2010 12:25] Michael Vitale
it is a remote connection.  I use the same connection (tcp/ip over ssh) as the one I use to connect for SQL development(which works fine still).  I am not using SSH keys.

It looks like I need to somehow provide the password for commands that the server administration uses with sudo commands, but when I enter them in the second tab of the connection (system profile) where the sudo command allows the option of providing a password, it saves what i entered but appends to it the words "enterpasswordhere".

Hi

Could you check whether this problem still happens in version 5.2.35?

Closing this bug as there is no feedback from the original reporter and we cannot repeat it with recent versions.
