puppet 8549 1 22 16:25 ? 00:00:03 master I think this was due to clients checking in, however they did not disappear. I currently have two sitting on ps -ef: puppet_master@puppet:~$ ps -ef | grep puppet root 1296 1 0 11:34 ? 00:00:18 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/puppet agent root 2178 787 0 11:42 ? 00:00:00 sshd: puppet_master [priv] 1000 2181 2178 0 11:42 ? 00:00:00 sshd: puppet_master@pts/0 puppet 8549 1 2 16:25 ? 00:00:12 master puppet 8629 1 0 16:28 ? 00:00:01 master 1000 8681 2182 0 16:32 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto puppet puppet_master@puppet:~$ ps -fp 8549 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD puppet 8549 1 2 16:25 ? 00:00:13 master puppet_master@puppet:~$ ps -fp 1 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 11:33 ? 00:00:01 /sbin/init Also, 'lsof -i :8140' returned nothing.
