Very Computer

I am trying to write a start-up script which starts two Java applications. I
have created a script in /etc/init.d and created a symbolic link to it from
/etc/rc3.d. When I reboot I get 6 instances of the java application
'j9 -bp:/opt/wsdd4.0/lib/classes.zip:/opt/wsdd4.0/lib/rmi.zip c' as show
below, I only want one. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I have
included the script below also for your information.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Nothing! It's working.

Java can use multiple processes (depending on what you are asking it to do)
- so I think it's probably fine. Just in case I'm wrong, can you give us a
more detailed "ps" output (with the PPID as well as the PID shown).

"ps -A xf" Would be nice - you'll probably see that all your java processes
are children of one father java process (which is good news, if so).
