Hi, I believe this is a dumb question, and I have a sneaky feeling that I've seen something about this on the list before, but I can't find it in the archives. I am used to using PostgreSQL on Linux, but we have moved some of our work onto Solaris multiprocessor boxes. Now, I see multiple instances of postmaster -i in the output from ps. Am I right in believing that this is just an artifact of the way the OS deals with threads, or is pg_ctl doing something evil and spawning extra back ends? I _think_ the latter is impossible, because there's already one back end bound to the port. But a little reassurance from someone experienced with Solaris would sure make my day better!
