It happens even if I just ask it to check the configurationfile (-t) If I type ./bconsole -t I get a message saying bconsole -t.conf
A bit odd If I enter ./bconsole -t -c bconsole.conf I get no output but it still spawns processes. I just found out that if you kill the first process, that does not stop the children from multiplying. Time to go home to bed.

I did find that the host name was not the full name but I fixed that and had the same problem again. I got to a console quickly enough to issue a shutdown before the system completely died so it is rebooting without having to fix the fil system. What does bconsole try to connect to? I just installed telnet so I can test the ports. 9102 seemed to respond but the other two rejected a connection. Is that potentially a problem?

That's very peculiar. I can't think of any case why that should happen unless there's something in the bconsole.conf that is recursively spawning more bconsole processes, unless something went badly wrong while building the bconsole.
