It is a single process multi-threaded (and pre-threaded, if you configure it that way) server, unlike Apache which is (pre-2.0 anyway) a pre-forking multi-process server. Linux often shows each separate thread in its ps output, rather than only showing each process. I think this is ultimately due to some differences in how threading is implemented in the Linux kernel, but I'm not sure. Regardless, the important thing is that a running AOLserver only ever has one process, no matter what ps shows you. And unless I'm missing something, you should also see no difference in what ps shows you between 3.5.1 and 3.4.2. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com
