In my system, running julia from the console to launch the REPL launches 3 processes named Julia. If I execute a julia script containing no parallel code, like
julia myscript.jl I also get 3 processes, and all three seem to do work. I have NOT aliased julia to julia -p 3. I am using Ubuntu 15.10, although this also happens on a system with 14.04, and on a remote cluster, and with different scripts. All are x64, Julia v0.4.5. In all cases, too many processes are launched. Any ideas on what could be happening?
