<quote>Jimmy, 

 I believe there is no timeout for the (Client)RunBeforeJob directive. 
 Probably you are receiving a time out from the command you sent to Mysql, so 
this is the origin of this message and of the script error termination.

Thanks for the quick reply.  (feeling embarrassed)

Yes, you are correct, this is a "service mysqld stop" timeout, not the 
RunBeforeJob.

For those of you out there also having a tough day/week...  for most MySQL 
installations the service start and stop timeouts can be adjusted in 
/etc/sysconfig/mysqld

default configuration appears to be as follows:

# Configuration file for the mysqld service.

# Server timeout during service start
STARTTIMEOUT=120

# Server timeout during service stop
STOPTIMEOUT=60

# Other options to pass to the server (p.e. --federated)
MYOPTIONS=
