Before:
handles 7812
threads 409
processes 38
After:
handles 7801
threads 405
processes 38
Nope, that's not it. Here's what I did:
~/go/nngs-1.1.15> ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
17496 1 17496 17496 con 1006 15:22:51 /usr/bin/rxvt
17776 17496 17776 16932 0 1006 15:22:52 /usr/bin/bash
17552 17776 17552 29668 0 1006 16:31:05 /usr/bin/ps
~/go/nngs-1.1.15> ./configure
...normal output...
~/go/nngs-1.1.15> ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
17496 1 17496 17496 con 1006 15:22:51 /usr/bin/rxvt
17776 17496 17776 16932 0 1006 15:22:52 /usr/bin/bash
42088 17776 42088 42068 0 1006 16:33:14 /usr/bin/ps
For some reason, lower PIDs just don't get reused it seems. In process
explorer and windows task manager nothing changes, except that the PIDs
keep going up and up.
Can you tell me what the 'Thread's are that show up as handles for rxvt?
Are those forked subprocesses or what? THree of the four you see in
the output stay constant, but the high one keeps spawnig off higher and
higher process IDs. on the process explorer I see another one flicker
into existence:
** It has the same Handle (0xE8) as the one that's there, and one's
highlighted red, the other green (old and new, I assume). The green one
nearly always has a higher PID than the lower one. The handles change
even when I just move the mouse in and out of the rxvt.
Any idea which forums could help with this?
Does anyone else on the list see this kind of behavior?
Thanks,
Nils.
