With 2.4 Linux kernels (with a few exceptions), each thread had a separate pid. On 2.6 Linux kernels, all threads share the same pid but have different thread ids. If the above output is for a 2.6 kernel, then there is a problem, because there should be only one pid (though Bacula does create child processes which will have different pids, they should be short lived in normal conditions). > > __Martin > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
