You run the external process via Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) ?

If so, that should be easy enough for me to find in my JSPs...

Subject: RE: when does Tomcat spawn children and/or fork ?

I have a webapp that runs an external process to do some processing.
When
that's running I have an extra "tomcat" process listed when I do a ps.
It's
not really tomcat, but something about the way that the JVM forks
processes
makes it look like it's another tomcat.  When the processes finishes the
extra "tomcat" goes away and I'm back down to one.  It could be that
you've
got something simliar going on in the webapp(s) that you're running.
