I'm running Zope2.6.2 on RH9 as well and see the same thing at start up time. I don't know enough about the Zope startup process to explain why they spawn the child but it usually terminates on it's own after the start up process has finished. My assumption is that, being a threaded process, it spawns a child to handle any requests/subprocesses so that it isn't blocked from receiving new requests while current ones are being handled. Lee

Hi,
I was just wondering why Zope runs multiple threads of z2.py by default? For example in my ps listing I have:
zope 18183 1 0 10:25 ? 00:00:00 /home/zope/Zope/bin/python /home/zope/Zope/z2.py -u zope -f - p - zope 18184 18183 0 10:25 ? 00:00:10 /home/zope/Zope/bin/python /home/zope/Zope/z2.py -u zope -f - p -
However one of my colleagues only has a single zope instance appear in his ps listing on his machine. His zope installation still runs fine. We are running Zope on Red Hat Linux 9. Does something like this make a difference?
Thanks
