Over a single day I can see a large amout of gpgsm and gpg-agent instances running in the background. Today it's 29 + 11 instances:
$ ps ax -o cmd | grep gpg | sort | uniq -c
11 gpg-agent --server
29 gpgsm --server
They don't seem to do any harm processor and memory wise, but I'm still
curious if this hughly varying number of process is intended. I myself don't
even use gpg encryption. Can somebody confirm this behaviour?
