fbsd will always display threads.. i don't think core@ will allow a change in that behavior. :)

The number of srcds entries returned by tools such as "ps" depends on the details of your kernel and threading library. SRCDS runs 2 threads, a main thread for all the game processing and a separate Steam communications thread. Most pthread implementations use a kernel process per thread, and internally use one process (thread) for internal thread management. So for srcds this would show up as 3 processes per game server instance. Other OS's (FreeBSD?) and newer kernels may change this threading model to not represent threads as full processes. - Alfred [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'm not sure if threads are visible as processes. > > This behaviour of multiple (three) processes is completely new and is > not concerning each and every srcds installation. > > As far as i understand (after viewing the board threads in valve's > forum) it > seems to be an issue regarding to the installed linux version. > > I'm quite sure i had only one process in the foretime ... despite to > the > VAC2 launch. > > Cheers, Glenn. > > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Manuel Mausz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: <hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com> >> Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Multiple srcds processes starting >> Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2005 00:14:59 +0100 >> Reply-To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com >> >> ever heard of threads? - one thread is used for vac. >> the third (the first is the main proc) is the default glibc thread >> which > comes up as soon as you fire up a thread. >> >> manuel >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 12:05 AM >>> To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com >>> Subject: [hlds_linux] Multiple srcds processes starting >>> >>> >>> 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. > RCON quit will close all three processes.
