Hey,

I have this question :

Is it normal & expected that a translator keeps running when a translated file (is that the appropriate term ?) is opened and then closed ?

I ask this because if I play around a bit with my system, I usually very quickly wind up with 100+ processes.. Especially if I do something like 'ls -l /dev' (at which point I wind up with as many processes as I have PTYs*2 (master+slave) + some others).. If I do "ls /dev' nothing happens - so I suspect 'ls -l' does open the file (not just 'stat' it).

Of course, for the time being, I'll just (try to) avoid doing 'ls -l /dev' (or ls /dev/<TAB><TAB>) - or live with so many processes (not like it hurts THAT much)..

Anyway.. this may be unavoidable - or - working as designed.. I was just wondering !

Cheers,

--Ivan
