Answer 1

...We don't have a newer version of MySQL yet, so I was able to do this (works only on UNIX):

 host=maindb

 echo "show full processlist\G" | mysql -h$host | grep -B 6 -A 1 Locked

The above will query for all locked sessions, and return the information and SQL that is involved.

...So- assuming you wanted to query for sessions that were sleeping:

  host=maindb

  echo "show full processlist\G" | mysql -h$host | grep -B 6 -A 1 Sleep

Or, assuming you needed to provide additional connection parameters for MySQL:

  host=maindb

  user=me

  password=mycoolpassword 

  echo "show full processlist\G" | mysql -h$host -u$user -p$password | grep -B 6 -A 1 Locked

With a couple of tweaks, I'm sure a shell script could be easily created to query the processlist the way you want it.
