multiple instances of mysqld running and not sure where they are coming from
2592 mysql 21 6 61912 53M 1220 S N 0.0 5.3 0:02 3 mysqld
2670 mysql 21 6 61912 53M 1220 S N 0.0 5.3 0:00 1 mysqld

25308 mysql 21 6 61912 53M 1220 S N 0.0 5.3 0:12 3 mysqld
25310 mysql 21 6 61912 53M 1220 S N 0.0 5.3 0:14 2 mysqld
So to determine where those are coming from I try all of the following but it shows me nothing...
root@server [~]# cat /proc/2592/environ
CONSOLE=/dev/consoleTERM=linuxINIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin://binRUNLEVEL=3runlevel=3PWD=/var/libLANG=en_US.UTF-8PREVLEVEL=Nprevious=NHOME=/SHLVL=3
root@server [~]# cat /proc/2592/cmdline

root@server [~]# mysqladmin processlist

Also "mytop" really shows me nothing either.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I can go about trying to determine exactly what in mysql is using up so much memory?
