Multiple tomcat instances

[Adolfo Casari]

Is it normal that the JVM that runs Tomcat spawn multiple instances?

This is the list of processes in the server (every long line is a JVM):

Thank you.

I think you're looking at the list of threads, not processes.

Threads inherit some parts of the process env (hence the command line args) .

Do not run top with -H
