You run the external process via Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) ? If so, that should be easy enough for me to find in my JSPs...

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. --mikej -=----- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
