Yes, you're right. We had three processes: First process: screen launch Second process: shell and srcds_run launch Third process: srcds_processorspecific launch
But now we have five processes: First process: screen launch Second process: shell and srcds_run launch Third process: srcds_processorspecific launch Fourth process: srcds_processorspecific launch Fifth process: srcds_processorspecific launch As you will see, the processor specific program is started in multiple instances ... no threads - real processes. I'll attach an output of my proc. list ps -elf: F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN STIME TTY TIME CMD 040 S cssuser 12664 1 0 69 0 - 644 select Dec06 ? 00:00:00 SCREEN -mS src ./srcds_run -game cstrike ... 000 S cssuser 12665 12664 0 69 0 - 563 wait4 Dec06 ttyp3 00:00:00 /bin/sh ./srcds_run -game cstrike ... 000 S cssuser 16484 12665 34 69 0 - 40706 nanosl Dec06 ttyp3 01:17:47 ./srcds_amd -game cstrike ... 040 S cssuser 16485 16484 0 69 0 - 40706 poll Dec06 ttyp3 00:00:00 ./srcds_amd -game cstrike ... 040 S cssuser 16486 16485 0 69 0 - 40706 nanosl Dec06 ttyp3 00:00:19 ./srcds_amd -game cstrike ... Parent PID of second proc. is first proc ... parent PID of third proc. is second proc. Process will launch itself two additional times. After server quit all processes will die ... no zombies. Restart will raise all three instances again ... and this is new ... ;o) Cheers, Glenn. ----- Original Message ----- > Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 17:17:01 -0600 > From: "JCHost.net - Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Multiple srcds processes starting > Reply-To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com > > Every single hlds1 server I ahve ever ran takes 3 process ID's including > the screen I run it on. > > JC > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > >-- > >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > >Alread posted in steam forum: > >---> http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=374038 > >---> http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=375796 > > > >Same here running in a Debian Woody environment using updated glibc 2.3.2. > > > >Starting srcds will raise three server processes instead of only one.
