I just noticed something odd... When I type ps, I get the following: [on:~]> ps PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 30350 p0 Ss 0:00.03 -bash (bash) 30761 p0 R+ 0:00.00 ps 99069 p1 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 79966 p3 Is 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 27050 p4 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 45342 p5 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 20302 p6 Is 0:00.02 /usr/local/bin/bash 73354 p7 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 94357 p8 Is+ 0:00.14 /usr/local/bin/bash 82034 p9 Is+ 0:00.02 /usr/local/bin/bash 82825 pa Is+ 0:00.02 /usr/local/bin/bash 63521 pb Is+ 0:00.07 /usr/local/bin/bash 75330 pc Is+ 0:00.06 /usr/local/bin/bash 81504 pd Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 95482 pe Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/bash 21072 pf Is+ 0:00.12 /usr/local/bin/bash 96897 pg Is+ 0:00.07 /usr/local/bin/bash 50522 ph Is+ 0:00.02 /usr/local/bin/bash 98404 pi Is+ 0:00.03 /usr/local/bin/bash I'm wondering why I have all these shells running? Could it be because I close my SSH terminal without exiting, thus leaving bash in some sort of suspended state? This is a pure server box, with Apache, tinydns, and Qmail being the main processes. Can I just kill them off? There is no one logged into this server besides me, and never will be. A 'who' confirms that I am the only one logged in. Any hints, much appreciated. -- John
