Thanks Paul,
I did a man on top and sure enough there was a PPID command on
Linux (f then B) for parent process. And yes, they always have the same
parent command. Thanks for your help as I'm obviously still a noob on
Unix.

If you look at the man page for 'ps' you'll see a switch that shows
all the threads too (it's different on different unix flavours, so
best to do look in the man page).
Once you've shown the threads in 'ps' you'll see that the process
that is appearing in top, and I'll bet it's parent is your original
java process.
I wouldn't panic, each thread is almost certainly sharing the same
memory pool, so while top reports that the thread has X Mb of memory,
it's really the same physical block as all the others.
You see this all the time in a Tomcat app server box, where each Http
Connector is a thread, and appears as it's own process.
cheers,
Paul Smith
