Linux gives each thread a process ID, so ps shows each thread as a process. There's no way (that I know of) to tell from ps if they're threads or processes, but since we know Zope is threaded, we know those are threads. If you happen to run MySQL, you'll see the same thing.
ps ax -H will indent child threads. ps axm will supposedly show threads but I had problems with that on RedHat.
There's also ps auxfw, but I like pstree on RedHat: ... |-python---python---python---4*[python] |-rhnsd |-safe_mysqld---mysqld---mysqld---mysqld ... The only way I know to distinquish threads from ordinary children is to look at the memory profile. For threads, they will always be exactly the same, because they share the same memory map. -- Andy Dustman PGP: 0xC72F3F1D @ .net http://dustman.net/andy "Normally with carbonara you use eggs, but I used lobster brains instead." -- Masahiko Kobe (Iron Chef Italian): 30-year-old Giant Lobster Battle
