That's all normal. For application with multiple threads using linux's process and thread management, threads show up as lightweight processes.
Apache is configurable to set the number of processes. Look in your httpd.conf. Its easy to spot. Don't know about the rest but I think its pretty normal. Only run the servers that you need though. So if you don't need named running, stop it. --rje -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of daniel Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 5:28 PM To: list redhat (general) Subject: multiple occurances of a single service the server i've set up here at work is doing a lot of work, but it seems that it's doing more than it should. it's running the following services: httpd named mysql nfs smbd atalk but instead of just running one copy of apache it's running TEN and the bind9 has 5 incarnations running now i understand that apache was designed to dynamically run copies of itself under high load, but TEN? and right off the restart? this wouldn't bother me however if i wasn't running into "cannot allocate memory" errors with my simple perl scripts. is it possible that i'm asking this little machine to do too much? running "free" tells me that i've got 1904k of real memory available and 189460k of swap. machine specs: celeron 500mhz 128mb ram 80gb hd _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer often it does seem a pity that noah and his party did not miss the boat. - mark twain _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
