I'm running Tomcat 3.2.1 with Apache, it seems that whenever Tomcat is running the load average steadily increases, even without any hits. Running ps -ef | grep java reveals many instances of - root 8226 8020 5 19:27 ? 00:05:55 /usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native This is driving me nuts, I can't see any error output from Tomcat or Apache. I suspect the problem could be related to Apache, as my test server doesn't have the problem, the only difference bettween the two boxes is the version of Apache, the production machine has 1.3.14 and the test box has 1.3.19. Can anyone explain what the above process is and why they keep building up. I'm sure this is Tomcat related as restarting clears it. Any help would be much appreciated. regards, Scott.
