Yip: I wouldn't worry about that: It has something to do with how linux maps the Java VM to linux processes. If you have pstree installed on your linux box, run that: You should see one Java VM with (in your case, 15) threads under that.
As a side note: I successfully run Tomcat with about 29 processes under that, Apache, Oracle 9, SAP DB, Named, and some other programs, and have not had any problems. My Tomcat is running 24/7 for the last few months now, and I have never needed to reset or restart. I think there was a discussion on the group about this previously, but can not recollect when / by whom. hth Paul On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 22:21, Jens Skripczynski wrote: > Chris Dodunski: > > Just a brief question, for a Tomcat newbie.
