Ok, I've searched on the steampowered.com forums and the list archives, don't see any information regarding this.
I have three instances of HLDS running on my rh box, all was normal, aside from the typical Steam issues etc... I decided to check TOP and I see that I have five instances of HLDS running for some odd reason. Three of them are supposed to be there, but one of my servers was running three times, in three separate processes. I killed the lowest PID of the three instances and the other two duplicates went down with it. I took a gander in the configs, as well in the launch script I tossed together (which is identical to the other two copies I use aside from the necessary variances) and everything looked peachy. Relaunched the script and checked TOP. I see "./steam -update tfc ." followed by an instance of HLDS shortly thereafter, and finally, the other two bastard processes pop up. Here's a TOP clipped/formatted top c/p : 27060 hlds 7 0 69336 61M 3656 S < 0.0 6.1 43:04 ./hlds_i686 -game tfc +maxplayers 20 +map openfire_l 27523 hlds 7 0 46184 45M 4888 S < 0.0 4.4 0:01 ./hlds_i686 -game tfc +maxplayers 20 +map epicenter 27526 hlds 7 0 46184 45M 4888 S < 0.0 4.4 0:00 ./hlds_i686 -game tfc +maxplayers 20 +map epicenter 27527 hlds 7 0 46184 45M 4888 S < 0.0 4.4 0:00 ./hlds_i686 -game tfc +maxplayers 20 +map epicenter 8926 hlds 7 0 52940 34M 3964 S < 0.0 3.4 2:13 ./hlds_i686 -game tfc +maxplayers 16 +map schtop 27523 is the original, 27526 is duplicate #1, and 27527 is duplicate #2. Any ideas?
