[cobalt-users] HTTPD PIDs



Hi,

the other day I ran the 'ps -ax'  command, and noticed there were about 20
httpd entries looking like this

  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
........
14885 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
........

I restarted httpd but again there were about 20 entries or so.
When I ran 'more /var/run/httpd.pid' it shows one line containing the httpd
PID. Is it normal to have so many httpd PIDs? And if it is, why? Also, why
is there only one line in the httpd.pid file when there are 20 other httpd
processes as well? One process for every http request or something like
that?
Same question for mysqld... alot of PIDs there too.
Thanks,

Martin
