I have this in the output of "ps axf" 532 ? SN 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/distccd --user distcc --daemon --no-detach --log-stderr --log-level notice --port 3632 --listen 192.168.1.131 --allow 192.168.1.128 536 ? SN 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/distccd --user distcc --daemon --no-detach --log-stderr --log-level notice --port 3632 --listen 192.168.1.131 --allow 192.168.1.128
Process 532 is what it is supposed to be. But why the child 536? Not to mention 17 more children just like 536, which I didn't paste. The distccd daemon is alive but not really working, as it has nothing to do: I use this about once a week (for world updating, eventually kernel compiling), and today the 192.168.1.128 client is not even on. I checked the distccd log, nothing there. The connection is by ethernet cable. distccd works just fine when required to. So, what could lead it to spawn so many useless children? I couldn't find anything in the manual, and googling doesn't seem to help. Any distcc user in the same boat? Thanks Jorge Almeida
