Hi all :) In response, I was running ps -ef to view what was running. I haven't had a chance to read the man on ps, but I did quickly try pstree -aup as you suggested. It looks like (if I am reading the tree right) there is only one java process, with a number of threads branching off. The same for the httpd process.
Just out of curiousity, why would so many threads be spawned just after starting the services before doing anything? Thanks :) Denise -----Original Message----- From: jon wingfield To: Tomcat Users List Sent: 12/19/2002 1:47 PM Subject: RE: "Naive question" thread i use pstree -aup. Very useful with multiple java apps running on one server :) -----Original Message----- From: Milt Epstein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 December 2002 20:15 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: "Naive question" thread Saw a post in the "naive question" thread earlier today that I wanted to respond to, but my quick "delete" finger got to it before I got around to it. This was a thread in which John Turner, Denise Mangano, and some others had been participating. Anyway, Denise posted the output of ps that had a whole bunch of java processes listed. I'd be concerned about the number of such processes, because normally there shouldn't be so many -- in fact, most typically (i.e. one tomcat instance), there should be just one. Now, Denise said she's using linux, and it's my understanding that ps under linux will list threads, not just processes. So it's possible all those java listings were all the threads running in one java process. And I think there's an option to ps to cause it list actual processes, not threads. So you might try that and see what the output looks like.
